Paris Saint-Germain's preparations for the new season have hit an unexpected bump after manager Luis Enrique was involved in a serious cycling accident, resulting in a fractured collarbone.
The incident occurred in France, forcing the Spanish tactician to temporarily step back from his duties as he recovers from the injury. The club confirmed the news, stating Enrique underwent immediate medical assessment following the mishap.
Pre-Season Plans Disrupted
The timing of the accident is far from ideal for the French champions, with the team deep into its pre-season training schedule. Enrique's absence from the touchline and training ground presents a significant challenge as PSG fine-tunes its tactics and squad ahead of the Ligue 1 kick-off.
While the club has not specified an exact return date, fractures of this nature typically require a recovery period of several weeks, potentially impacting his involvement in initial season preparations.
A Known Cycling Enthusiast
Luis Enrique is well-known for his passion for cycling and extreme sports, often incorporating intense physical training into his routine. This incident highlights the potential risks even experienced athletes face when pursuing their hobbies.
Assistant coaches are expected to take on additional responsibilities during Enrique's recovery period, ensuring the team's progress remains on track despite their manager's temporary absence.
