Even the most focused football minds sometimes face setbacks away from the pitch. Luis Enrique, the celebrated coach of European giant Paris Saint-Germain, took an unexpected tumble this Friday. A passionate fan of endurance sports, his latest cycling adventure unfortunately led to an injury. He had to be rushed to the hospital for surgery after fracturing his collarbone.
The club quickly confirmed the incident. “After suffering a fall while cycling this Friday, Luis Enrique was taken to the emergency room,” read the official note. “He will undergo surgery for a fractured collarbone.” PSG made sure to send their best wishes, adding, “Paris Saint-Germain expresses its full support for Luis Enrique and wishes him a swift recovery.” The club’s statement, however, did not give a timeline for his return.
While any injury is unwelcome, this timing might offer a small silver lining for the team. The accident happened during the international break. This means no club games are scheduled right now. PSG’s next official match is set for September 14, when they face Lens. Hopefully, this allows Luis Enrique some time to heal without missing crucial games.
