Trouble for PSG: Fabian Ruiz's Mysterious Injury Ahead of Champions League Clash
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is preparing for a crucial Champions League fixture, and their preparations have been overshadowed by doubts surrounding the fitness of key midfielder Fabian Ruiz. It was confirmed ahead of the official squad announcement that the star player would be unavailable for the upcoming match.
While a knee problem was cited as the official reason, French reports suggest a deeper issue. PSG reportedly harbors skepticism regarding the true severity of Ruiz's injury, especially since internal scans apparently revealed no significant damage. Club management reportedly felt the 29-year-old could have at least featured for a short period in the recent league match against Toulouse.
Initially deemed minor, the injury—a knee bruise sustained in a January Champions League fixture against Sporting—has persisted longer than anticipated. Sources indicate that Ruiz's reported reluctance to play or train while experiencing any discomfort, no matter how slight, is a growing source of frustration within the club.
Head coach Luis Enrique, however, publicly downplayed any issues, stating, "We have to wait for the player. We are trying to bring the players back as quickly as possible." Ruiz was an integral part of PSG's successful campaign last season, contributing significantly to their trophy win. He has also been a consistent starter this season until this current injury setback, making his absence a significant concern for the club's European ambitions.
