The Game Turned Late
PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain will be without Vitinha at least until the end of the week after the Portugal midfielder limped off with a right heel injury during a 2-1 loss to Lyon in Ligue 1 over the weekend.
That is the kind of injury timeline that turns roster planning into calendar management.
The Small Details Added Up
PSG said the midfielder is sidelined by inflammation in his right heel following a knock sustained during the match. "Vitinha will undergo treatment over the next few days. A further assessment will be carried out at the end of the week," the club said.
Despite the loss, PSG remained top of the standings, one point ahead of Lens with a game in hand. The postponed game against Lens — originally scheduled for April 11 — still awaits in May, adding another date to track once the injury picture clears.
The Table Looks Different
PSG's next Ligue 1 match is at home against Nantes on Wednesday, then travels to Angers on Saturday.
