Fabián Ruiz Injured, Joins PSG’s Expanding Injury List Ahead of Lille Clash
BREAKING: Fabián Ruiz has officially joined Paris Saint-Germain’s expanding injury list, ruling him out for Sunday’s crucial Ligue 1 match against Lille. The club announced this urgent update on Saturday, confirming that the Spanish midfielder is undergoing treatment for an adductor injury sustained during the Champions League match against Barcelona earlier this week.
This latest injury adds to the woes of head coach Luis Enrique, who is now missing six first-team players. Fellow midfielder João Neves was also unable to participate, having been injured during warm-ups before the Barcelona match. He will miss his third consecutive Ligue 1 game due to a thigh injury.
“I won’t take any risks with any player,” Luis Enrique stated. “Neves warmed up with the team because we thought he might play, but he got injured.” This cautious approach underscores the growing concerns surrounding player fitness as the season intensifies.
Other key players sidelined include captain Marquinhos, winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and forwards Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé. Despite these setbacks, both Neves and Kvaratskhelia have been called up for international duty with their respective national teams, raising additional questions about squad depth and player management.
PSG is currently level on 15 points with Lyon heading into the weekend’s matches. The team needs a strong performance to maintain their position in the league standings. Goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier is set to face his former club Lille, having joined PSG in a deal worth approximately €40 million (around $47 million) this offseason.
As the defending Ligue 1 champions prepare for this critical match, fans and analysts alike are watching closely for how Luis Enrique will navigate these injury challenges. The early kickoff features Lyon hosting Toulouse, setting the stage for an intense day in the league.
With injuries piling up and the pressure mounting, PSG’s adaptability will be tested as they aim to secure a vital three points against Lille. Stay tuned for further updates on player conditions and match outcomes as the situation develops.
