The left-back for Portugal's national team, age 21, will travel to Finland for surgery on a right hamstring rupture after being sidelined since the end of April due to injury.
Nuno Mendes, a defender for Paris Saint-Germain, will have surgery on his hamstring this week and be out for the next four months, the French club revealed on Wednesday.
The left-back for Portugal's national team, age 21, will travel to Finland for surgery on a right hamstring rupture after being sidelined since the end of April due to injury.
Nuno Mendes will have surgery this Friday in Finland, according to Paris Saint-Germain's medical staff after reviewing his condition in-depth and the results of fresh tests, the Ligue 1 club confirmed.
The athlete is anticipated to miss four months of action.
The information is disappointing for newly appointed PSG coach Luis Enrique, who has used summer acquisition Lucas Hernandez in that capacity thus far this campaign.
The former Bayern Munich player, however, plays mostly as a center-back and doesn't present nearly as much of an attacking threat as a full-back.
Layvin Kurzawa, who has rejoined the team following a loan stint at Fulham last season, is the only natural replacement that is now available.
He hasn't participated in a PSG first-team game in more than two years.
