PSG provide defender injury update before Barcelona | OneFootball

Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain have on Sunday provided an update on the wellbeing of Nordi Mukiele.

As much comes after the defender set alarm bells ringing across the PSG fanbase late last night, during the club’s meeting with Clermont.

En route to an eventual 1-1 stalemate, Mukiele was forced into a departure from proceedings, inside the opening quarter of an hour.

This came owing to a nasty clash with Clermont shot-stopper Massamba Ndiaye, which left the former grounded and bloodied.

Upon being seen to by PSG’s medical team, it was quickly decided that Mukiele was in no condition to continue.

With first-choice right-back Achraf Hakimi already ruled out of the club’s upcoming Champions League meeting with Barcelona through suspension, as much marked an understandable source of concern for all associated with the French champions.

Such individuals, on Sunday, will in turn no doubt be keen to hear of an update on Mukiele’s wellbeing coming to the fore.

As revealed in an official statement across PSG’s website and social media platforms:

‘Nordi Mukiele suffered a blow to the head during yesterday’s match against Clermont and was forced to withdraw following the application of concussion protocol put in place by the FFF. He will undergo further tests with a specialist neurologist tomorrow. A further update will follow.’
