Desire Doue faces several weeks on the sidelines after suffering hamstring injury

Paris Saint-Germain winger Desire Doue suffered a fresh injury during the 1-1 draw against Lorient in Ligue 1 last night.

The French youngster was stretchered off around the hour mark after he went down holding his right hamstring. He left the stadium on crutches.

L’Equipe says Doue has sustained a deep tear in his right thigh, and he will be out for several weeks.

His absence is a significant setback for Les Parisiens, as Doue has been looking sharper since returning from a calf injury.

The 20-year-old made an instant impact on his return, providing two assists in the draw against Strasbourg.

He went on to score a stellar double in the 7-2 thrashing of Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League and another goal in the 3-0 win against Brest last weekend.

Doue was one of the influential figures behind PSG’s treble victory last season, bagging 16 goals and 16 assists in all competitions.

He also produced a man-of-the-match display in the Champions League final against Inter Milan with a brace and an assist.

PSG have suffered numerous injuries this season, which can be attributed to the weariness stemming from a long 2024/25 campaign.

Ousmane Dembele is also looking to get back to his best after returning from a lengthy absence due to a hamstring issue.

Luis Enrique’s side have recorded only two wins in their last six Ligue 1 games. They are still at the top of the league table, one point ahead of Monaco.
