Ferran Torres Was On Fire, Then His Ankle Said Nope, and PSG Fans Are Holding Their Breath

Ferran Torres, PSG’s red-hot attacker, has been sent home from his national team camp after picking up a left ankle injury. This is a total gut punch for a player who’s exploded for 7 goals in 6 games already this season, making a truly red hot start to life in Paris.

Ankle Pain Pulls Torres From Spain Duty

The Spanish football federation dropped the news: Torres has left their camp because of persistent pain in his left ankle. What’s wild is that the pain initially didn’t even stop him from training and playing. He was out there, pushing through it! But, you know how it goes, when those symptoms just keep hanging around, the smart call is to pull the player and prioritize recovery. It’s a bummer, but you gotta look long term, right?

What This Means for PSG’s Fiery Forward

Alright, so the good news, if there is any, is that it doesn’t sound too bad. The word is that a week of rest should probably get him right for PSG’s next game. That match is coming up next Saturday at home against Le Mans. Man, it would be a huge blow if we lost this in-form Torres for any significant time. The guy has been tearing it up. You hate to see a player hitting their stride like that get knocked down, even if it’s hopefully just a short pit stop.

Other International Break Buzz

Beyond Torres, there have been a few other storylines from the international break. Over in the France camp, Zinedine Zidane has been showering Desire Doue with praise for his versatility. On the flip side, some more bad news came with Senny Mayulu picking up a left thigh injury while playing for France’s Under-21s. And with Kylian Mbappe out, Ousmane Dembele has been the main focus for the French national team, even taking some time to chat about the differences between playing for country versus PSG.

PSG’s next game is next Saturday at home against Le Mans. The big question for then is going to be: Is Ferran Torres back on the pitch, or are we going to see how the squad steps up without their most in-form attacker? We’re all watching to see if that ankle is good to go.
