Paris Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes’ highly anticipated return from a knee injury sustained against Bayern Munich lasted only 45 minutes during Tuesday’s Champions League match against Tottenham Hotspur. The premature substitution of the 22-year-old Portuguese international raised immediate questions about a potential reinjury, given the crucial role Mendes plays in PSG’s attack and defense. Though, reports indicate manager Luis Enrique opted for a precautionary move during the 5-3 defeat, though the specific cause remains under evaluation.
Nuno Mendes’ return to action following a knee injury suffered against Bayern Munich was cut short during Paris Saint-Germain’s thrilling 5-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on November 26th. The Portuguese left-back didn’t appear to be at his sharpest and was substituted at halftime for Lucas Hernandez, raising concerns about a potential setback.
However, according to Le Parisien, the substitution was a precautionary measure by manager Luis Enrique. The report notes that it remains unclear whether the precaution is specifically related to the player’s knee.
