He would have liked another end to complete his adventure with PSG. Victim last week of phlebitis coupled with a pulmonary embolism in the immediate aftermath of his operation, left-back Mikkel Hansen will not be able to play again by the end of the season with the capital club. It’s a brutal end to the adventure for the iconic Danish player who arrived at PSG ten years ago. He will indeed return to Denmark next season to evolve in Aalborg, finalist of the Champions League last year.
The 34-year-old Dane had been operated on eight days ago in Denmark to treat a cartilage problem in his right knee which he had suffered for several weeks. Returned to Paris last week to carry out his rehabilitation within the club of the capital, the 2016 Olympic champion contracted phlebitis of the lower limb, coupled with a pulmonary embolism, on his return to France.
15 titles won in Paris
Currently supported by the medical staff of PSG, Hansen is now out of danger but will still have to undergo treatment with anticoagulants for a period of 4 to 6 months. This treatment is not compatible with a high-level contact sport (due to the risk of internal bleeding in the event of a violent shock), he will not be able to resume competition this season. It’s a huge blow for PSG which loses one of its best players.
The Danish left-back left his mark on PSG after a decade spent in red and blue colors. He won 8 championships (2013 and from 2015 to 2021), 4 French Cups (2014, 2015 and 2018, 2021), and 3 League Cups (2017, 2018, 2019). He will therefore only have missed the Champions League that PSG is seeking to win for the first time. He will therefore not participate in the C1 play-offs against the Norwegians of Elverum at the end of the month.
The Dane therefore played his last match with the capital club on March 13 in the match at the top of the Starligue against Nantes (34-28). He had been one of the architects (6 goals) of the success of PSG author of a 20th victory in as many matches in the league.
