We were just saying that PSG had got pretty lucky in terms of injuries in this extended international break.

Well, it’s just our luck. Hours later we’ve got word that Ferran Torres has picked up an issue while playing for his country this week.

The Spanish football federation have just announced that the attacker has left their camp because of some pain in his left ankle. That pain “initially did not prevent him from training and playing.” But “given the persistence of the symptoms, it has been decided to withdraw the player from the squad to prioritize his recovery.”

It doesn’t sound too bad, and a week of rest will probably get him right for PSG’s next game, which comes next Saturday at home against Le Mans.

It would be a blow to lose the in-form Torres, who has made a red hot start to life in Paris with 7 goals in 6 games already this season.
