« After further medical examinations and a thorough evaluation of Nuno Mendes’ condition, the medical department of Paris Saint-Germain has decided to perform surgery this Friday in Finland. The player’s estimated recovery time is four months, » PSG stated in a press release.

Mendes sustained an injury during the 2022 World Cup with Portugal and suffered a relapse on April 30 during a PSG vs. Lorient match (1-3).
