Injury woes behind him, Nuno Mendes thanks PSG | OneFootball

Nuno Mendes, the 23-year-old left-back for Paris Saint-Germain and Portugal, experienced a stop-and-start and frustrating beginning to his career due to numerous injuries. In an interview with AFP, he was asked to talk about what has finally allowed him to play matches consistently since January 2023.

Nuno Mendes: “The club helped me a lot”

It’s simple: PSG has managed to add caution and attentiveness in managing the player. There’s no longer any question of “forcing” or fighting day by day for a return. This is an essential principle for coach Luis Enrique: health comes first. Not to mention that this also builds trust within the rest of the squad, since it’s not about putting a player on the field at all costs as if the others aren’t ready to help.

Nuno Mendes has been able to take full advantage of this and has thus reached a new level in his career, playing more in order to continue progressing and avoid periods of lacking rhythm or playing while not fully fit. We can only be pleased about this; such management could have benefited other regulars in the infirmary before him.
