PSG’s Ander Herrera Suffers Injury Blow

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Ander Herrera is set to miss up to four weeks of action with a calf injury, the club announced on Wednesday.

Herrera, 29, is in his first season with the Ligue 1 champions, having left Manchester United on a free transfer after five-year stay with the Premier League club.

The Spaniard suffered the injury in training on Wednesday, meaning he will miss out on the start of the season with his new club.

PSG open their Ligue 1 campaign with a match against Nimes on Sunday, before taking on Rennes the following weekend.

Should Herrera make quick progress in his recovery he could be in line to make his PSG debut in the following match, a home game against Toulouse on August 25.

With Herrera out, PSG will rely more on its remaining crop of central midfielders, including Marco Verratti, Leandro Paredes, and new signings Pablo Sarabia and Idrissa Gueye.
