Headline: PSG’s Maghnes Akliouche to Miss Matches Due to Calf Injury
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has reported another setback in its squad as winger Maghnes Akliouche faces an injury deadline. According to today’s French press reports, Zinedine Zidane’s team is now without Akliouche, who suffered two significant blows to the same calf.
The announcement coincides with the release of the France national team squad, which listed Akliouche among the absentees. The 24-year-old will miss not only the upcoming PSG match against Troyes but also the French team training camp over the next two weeks.
Despite ongoing injury challenges, PSG’s situation remains relatively mild compared to other clubs. However, this latest development exacerbates their difficulties moving forward. RMC Sport noted that the attacker faced “two heavy blows” that led to the current injury issue.
This unfortunate timing comes as Akliouche began to find his form, having taken advantage of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s season-ending injury to start in the last three matches for PSG. He impressed with two assists in a recent match against Villarreal, signaling a turning point for his season.
On a lighter note, initial assessments suggest that Akliouche’s injury is minor, and he may return fit and ready after the international break, poised for the next phase of the season.
In other PSG news, David Boly celebrated an emotional debut and goal, delighting supporters who love to see academy players shine. Additionally, midfielder Ibrahim Maza is increasingly linked with PSG as rumors of his potential arrival continue to circulate.
