It gets complicated at Paris Saint-Germain. Despite its promising start to the season, all is not all rosy within the red and blue squad. The capital club has many injured. This week, the Ile-de-France residents announced the long absence of Portuguese full-back Nuno Mendes.
Already sidelined since the end of last season, the Portuguese will be absent for the next four months. A hard blow for Luis Enrique who will not yet be able to take advantage of his player. In addition, the club only has Frenchman Lucas Hernandez in this position. The Spanish technician does not seem to be counting on Layvin Kurzawa who has not played a single match since the start of the exercise.
Faced with this situation, the Parisians would consider several options and could become active during the winter transfer window. The Spanish technician opened the door at a press conference this Friday in front of journalists.
With the absence of Nuno Mendes, Lucas Hernandez occupies the left flank of Luis Enrique’s defense. The French international has had a high-level start to the season where he proves himself valuable in the Spanish manager’s tactical system. In the offensive phase, the 2018 world champion plays in a three-way defense alongside Milan Srkiniar and Marquinhos.
Defensively, he occupies the left flank, where he is responsible for closing the lane with the help of his midfielders. The former Bavarian offers great guarantees to his trainer. He has been one of the most important Parisian players since the start of the 23/24 financial year. Hoping it gets stronger and stronger.
