PSG Injuries Won't Rush Transfer Hunt

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Luis Enrique stated he feels “no rush” to make winter transfer moves, despite the recent loss of three key players to injury.

Following Tuesday’s 2-1 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich, the Ligue 1 leaders confirmed that Ousmane Dembele (calf), Achraf Hakimi (sprained ankle), and Nuno Mendes (sprained knee) will all be out of action for several weeks.

Speaking ahead of Sunday’s match against Lyon, Enrique maintained a relaxed posture, noting that injuries are common and that this situation presents “opportunities to give playing time to other players.”

The trio joins an existing injury list, but the coach insisted the team remains “calm and relaxed, not worried,” and is always open to transfer possibilities without feeling the need to hurry.

Meanwhile, Lyon’s own injury woes continue, with captain Corentin Tolisso and top scorer Pavel Sulc both doubtful for the upcoming match.
