Blow for PSG as left back Nuno Mendes faces weeks out with injury and will miss Barcelona game
Paris Saint-Germain left back Nuno Mendes is expected to be sidelined for several weeks after suffering a tear in his left thigh during Saturday's 3-1 win over Strasbourg in Ligue 1. The injury is a significant setback for both the French champion and their coach, Luis Enrique, who had planned on Mendes marking Barcelona's star right winger Lamine Yamal in their upcoming Champions League match.
Yamal, just 19 years old, has already scored nine goals this season for Barcelona, who have won all 11 of their games across both domestic and European competitions. Veteran France defender Lucas Digne is likely to take over Mendes' spot in the lineup for the upcoming match against Barcelona at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
