Warren Zaïre-Emery's first in the France team lasted only a quarter of an hour. Enough for him to score and get hurt on the same play. It was the 16th minute when he sent the ball into the back of the net and was denied by a tackle from Ethan Santos, who crushed his right ankle. The young Parisian prodigy remained on the ground for a while, unable to get up. His teammates run to congratulate him, only to realize that he is in pain. He finally gave way to Youssouf Fofana and went to take exams in the evening.
Examinations did not reveal a fracture but the ankle was well swollen. We are talking about a big sprain while waiting for the more precise diagnosis of the MRI. In a press conference, Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps gave more details. "Examinations ruled out a fracture but the injury is significant. Looking back at the picture, it could have been worse. We'll have to see quietly, but it's reassuring. At 17 years and 8 months, the youngest French international since 2014 saw his first appearance with the big boys come to an end along the way. He will not be able to hold his place in Greece next Tuesday, at the end of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, a competition for which Les Bleus are qualified and seeded.
His unavailability is not clearly established, for the moment, but according to our information, PSG can fear a forfeit against Monaco in Ligue 1 on Friday, November 24. The presence of the Parisian Titi is very uncertain, too, for the reception of Newcastle in the Champions League on Tuesday 28 November. According to the initial findings, it is unlikely that the new international will be able to return for this crucial match in the race for qualification. Paris is now waiting to find its player to establish the appropriate treatment protocol so that he can return to competition as soon as possible.
