Désiré Doué’s injury not as bad as first feared | OneFootball

Désiré Doué (20) sustained his second significant injury of the season during Paris Saint-Germain’s 1-1 draw against FC Lorient. The France international came off on a stretcher midway through the first half and left the stadium on crutches. 

L’Équipe said that Doué’s absence would be measured in “weeks at least”, suggesting that the Frenchman could actually potentially miss several months of action. The club have since confirmed an injury to his right thigh. PSG added that he would miss several weeks of action, and a further update would be provided the other side of the international break.

A return before the end of the calendar year?

However, Fabrice Hawkins now reports that Doué’s injury is perhaps not quite as bad as first feared. There is some hope that he could feature again in 2025, perhaps making a return in December. Failing that, however, he is expected to be operational again come January 2026.
