Zaïre-Emery, Doué, Vitinha: PSG Facing Challenges at Re-Start?

Paris Saint-Germain is gearing up for a busy schedule with matches against Brest and the start of the Champions League, but Luis Enrique’s squad faces uncertainties regarding three midfielders: Vitinha, Désiré Doué, and Warren Zaïre-Emery.

The international break has been particularly tough for PSG, with injuries to Vitinha, Doué, and Zaïre-Emery occurring with the Portugal, U21, and France national teams, respectively. However, the news is somewhat reassuring for Vitinha and Doué. According to L’Équipe, Vitinha’s ankle injury is not considered « very serious, » and his departure from the field was a « precautionary measure. » Similarly, Désiré Doué may even be available for the match against Bosnia.

Vitinha has returned to Paris for treatment and is expected to be fit for the Ligue 1 clash against Brest this weekend, unless Luis Enrique decides otherwise. On the other hand, the situation is more complicated for Warren Zaïre-Emery, with his availability for the Champions League opener against Girona on September 18 in doubt. He will also miss the match against Brest, potentially forcing Enrique to adjust his lineup.
