PSG makes a bet on the transfer window, it turns into a fiasco

February 7, 2023

Passionate about sport, cinema and television (on screen and behind it) since childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilful with the keyboard in hand than with the ball, he decided to mainly cover a much-loved sport, criticized and hated both (football) and a sport that is not (wrestling).

Leaving the Parc des Princes in tears, Renato Sanches relapsed against Toulouse (2-1) on Saturday. The Portuguese suffers from a new muscle injury and will be out for several weeks. Something to worry about within PSG, where Christophe Galtier and Luis Campos had quickly targeted the former LOSC on their arrival to strengthen the Parisian midfield.

Promised to a great future, to the point of being elected Golden Boy 2016 (best young player playing in Europe), Renato Sanches had everything to become one of Europe’s new midfield stars, but his repeated injuries have so far prevented him from claiming this status. A black dot that did not prevent Christophe Galtier And Luis Fields to want to bet on the 25-year-old Portuguese international when they arrived at PSG, the two men having kept excellent memories of the player at LOSC. A gamble far from bearing fruit.

Fourth injury of the season for Renato Sanches

Arrived from Lille last summer for 15M€, Renato Sanches is very far from meeting the expectations placed on him after his satisfactory passage in the north of France, the fault, again, of his injuries. The Portuguese midfielder accumulated before the meeting against Toulouse (2-1) 56 days of unavailability spread over three periods, a record that will worsen after his new muscle injury on Saturday. “ He’s been out with muscle damage and normally it’s been out for a few weeks, which means a lot of matches at the moment. », regretted Christopher Galtier.

“He must lose confidence in himself and in his body”

Renato sanches left the lawn of the Parc des Princes in tears and will therefore miss the next deadlines of the PSG, a fourth injury this season that comes at the worst time. ” Mentally it must be hard, he must lose confidence in himself and in his body “, Analyzes a physical trainer accustomed to the high level in The Parisian. John Bernard Fabre nods: “ It’s obvious that each time you have to come back and then, when you’ve come back, you have the fear of a repeat offense which amplifies the risks. It’s all energy-consuming. The doctor in physiology and biomechanics is nevertheless reassuring for the future of Renato sanches : “ At 25, an injury to the hamstrings, unless it is really very serious, it should not compromise his ability to resume. He is still young. ” THE PSG necessarily hope that the rest of the midfielder’s career will not be disrupted by his multiple physical concerns, while his lease runs until June 2027.
