Paris Saint-Germain have suffered a significant tactical setback as winger Maghnes Akliouche is ruled out of action following a double calf injury. According to RMC Sport, the 24-year-old sustained two heavy blows to the same calf muscle, a recurring issue that has sidelined him for the upcoming Ligue 1 fixture against Troyes. This absence compounds the challenges for Zinedine Zidane, who must now reconfigure his attacking options without one of his key summer reinforcements.
Summer signing misses Troyes clash and France camp as Zidane’s squad faces new setback
Akliouche’s injury is not limited to club duties, as he has also been omitted from the France national team’s upcoming training camp. The player will miss the fortnight-long preparation period, effectively pausing his international progress during a crucial phase of the season. While PSG’s overall injury list remains manageable compared to many European rivals, the loss of a dynamic winger at this stage of the campaign is a notable disruption to the squad’s depth and versatility.
This development highlights the fragility of PSG’s attacking depth as they navigate a congested schedule. Zidane’s staff will need to rely on alternative solutions in the wide areas, potentially increasing the workload on established stars. As the team prepares for the Troyes match, the focus shifts to how the manager adapts his formation to mitigate the impact of Akliouche’s absence while maintaining competitive intensity in both domestic and European competitions.
