PSG’s key midfielder Marco Verratti has sustained a hip injury and will be out for four weeks, read on to know all about the player’s injury details along with his update

Marco Verratti will be out of action for the next four weeks because of a hip injury that he picked up during PSG’s 0-0 clash with Marseille in the Le Classique that took place this weekend. This means that Verratti will be missed in the squad for PSG’s upcoming Champions League clash against RB Leipzig. Not only that, the Italian International will also not participate in Italy’s World Cup Qualifiers against Switzerland and Northern Ireland next month.

Marco Verratti Injury Update, News And Return Date

PSG let out a statement which read, “Following a shock received during the last match, Marco Verratti suffered a deep lesion of the oblique muscles in his left hip. An unavailability of four weeks is expected depending on the evolution.” The 28-year old has already missed a month of the season because of a knee injury and the news of his absence comes as a big blow to the Parisians.

Only time can tell whether Verratti will be fit to play in a very important Champions League fixture when PSG travel to the Etihad stadium to lock horns with Manchester City. Kylian Mbappe, who is suffering from an ENT infection will also be out for a while, and hopefully Lionel Messi will be back before PSG’s game against Leipzig on Tuesday.

Till the time Verratti is out, Pochettino will have to make use of midfielders like Giorgini Wijnaldum, Julian Draxler, Ander Herrera and Angel Di Maria. Verratti had picked up an injury last month as well during the World Cup Qualifier window with Italy. Here’s taking a look at the central-midfielder’s injury history.
