The image scared everyone. While playing his first minutes under the colors of the France team, at only 17 years, 8 months and 10 days old, Warren Zaire-Emery was injured while scoring his first goal. In the 16th minute of the Blues’ victory against Gibraltar (14-0), the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder received a back pass from Kingsley Coman. In one moment, he struck and scored his first goal for the national team, but the desperate tackle of his opponent, Ethan Santos, crushed his right ankle. The young Parisian immediately gives up his place, the Gibraltarian is excluded.
Returning to the locker room during the first half, supported by doctors, Warren Zaire-Emery immediately went to the hospital to carry out examinations. According to Didier Deschamps, interviewed on TF1 after the match, these would be reassuring. “Fortunately, it’s not very serious,” said the coach. The tests are reassuring, it’s a big sprain but the ligaments are not affected. The gesture was incredibly violent. »
However, the young midfielder’s ankle had swelled a lot. However, the x-ray performed showed nothing. An MRI must still be carried out to have more details on the nature of the injury and the unavailability of the player. At a press conference, the Blues coach gave more details. “Exams ruled out a fracture but the injury is significant. Looking back at the image, it could have been more serious. We’ll have to see slowly but it’s reassuring. »Luis Enrique and all of Paris Saint-Germain can breathe easy.
Before leaving Nice, Didier Deschamps assured that he would recall the young Parisian in 2024. “I can’t judge him on fifteen minutes but he was as usual. It has tranquility and serenity, like in a club. I hope he can recover quickly. We will have the opportunity to see him again, not in Greece, but during the next matches in March. » Despite this bittersweet evening, the Euro is still in the sights for the young Parisian.
