Lee Kang-in is in the spotlight as injury news hits Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the French professional football league Ligue 1.

French media ‘Alé Paris’ reported on the 8th (Korean time), “PSG manager Luis Enrique will continue to feel uneasy until the end of the A match because Vitinha, Desiree Doué, and Warren-Jair Emery are injured.”

He continued, “The test results showed that Vitinha’s condition was not serious. However, Jair Emery’s condition is concerning. He suffered a calf injury during the match against Italy, and his participation in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) is also uncertain.”

He added, “If Jair Emery really leaves, coach Enrique can reorganize the midfield. If that happens, Fabian Ruiz, Lee Kang-in, and Seni Mayulu can get a chance.”

Since the start of the new season, PSG have had a good start with three consecutive wins against Le Havre (4-1 win), Montpellier (6-0 win) and Lille (3-1 win).

Lee Kang-in opened the 2024-2025 French Ligue 1 season in the first round match against Le Arve, and scored the winning goal to cap off the goal feast in the second round match against Montpellier.

While Lee Kang-in was called up to the national soccer team for the third round of Asian qualifying for the ‘2026 FIFA World Cup in North and Central America’, he was in the spotlight as some of his PSG teammates suffered injuries.

Lee Kang-in is a possible replacement because he can play in the front, midfield, flank and center.

Lee Kang-in will return to his team after the away match against Oman on the 10th and continue competing for a starting position.

On the 15th, they are scheduled to face Brest in the 4th round of French Ligue 1, and on the 19th, they are scheduled to face Girona in the 1st leg of the UCL league phase.
