Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha sustained inflammation in his right heel during Sunday's 1-2 home loss to Lyon. The club stated he will remain in treatment for the next few days before a further evaluation later this week. The injury occurred in the 40th minute, ruling him out of Wednesday's league match against Nantes.
Paris Saint-Germain suffered a surprise 1-2 defeat at home to Paulo Fonseca's Lyon on Sunday, denting their Ligue 1 title hopes. Goals from Endrick and Afonso Moreira secured the win for Lyon, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's injury-time strike providing only a consolation for PSG. Vitinha was forced off in the 40th minute and replaced by Warren Zaire-Emery after picking up a knock during the match. PSG now lead surprise challengers Lens by just one point, despite having played one game fewer, with a crucial visit to Lens looming in their penultimate league fixture. PSG's official website announced: “Having suffered inflammation in his right heel after picking up a knock against Lyon last night, Vitinha will remain on the treatment table over the next few days, with a further assessment to be made towards the end of the week.” The midfielder is set to miss Wednesday's game against Nantes and is unlikely to feature in Saturday's trip to Angers, as priority shifts to Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich. Vitinha has been pivotal for Luis Enrique's side this season, contributing seven goals and 10 assists, including six strikes in the Champions League.
