Nuno Mendes taken off at half-time in PSG v Tottenham, the reason revealed

Paris Saint-Germain triumphed 5-3 against Tottenham (video summary PSG/Tottenham) this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes as part of the 5th day of the 2025-2026 Champions League. During this victory, Parisian full-back Nuno Mendes (23 years old) was replaced at halftime by Lucas Hernandez (29 years old). This raised concerns about a potential new injury. Le Parisien explained this decision by coach Luis Enrique.

“According to our information, it is merely a precaution. Is it due to his left knee sprain that occurred during the match against Bayern Munich on November 4th? Hard to say at this stage, but Luis Enrique and his staff did not want to take any risks with their valuable left-back, who had not shown any signs of difficulty during his 45 minutes of play.”

Le Parisien remains cautious, not wanting to declare that Nuno Mendes is perfectly fine, especially regarding his knee, and then have an issue arise. However, the idea is indeed that he is not injured, and there is no relapse.

Coach Luis Enrique knows how to be cautious. The match was intense, and it is important to avoid asking too much. It was also an opportunity for Lucas Hernandez, who spoiled his match with a foolish red card at the end. At least, we can hope that Nuno Mendes will be able to continue soon.
