Benfica Lisbon attacking midfielder Julian Draxler, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, is expected to be out for the end of the season.
A loan that will not be conclusive. Sent to Benfica Lisbon by Paris Saint-Germain, Julian Draxler has not found his place in Portugal. 18 appearances since the start of the season but only 750 minutes of play for the German, less than nine full games.
And Julian Draxler’s season could already be over. Indeed, the 2014 world champion had surgery on his left ankle this Friday morning, as the Lisbon club specifies in a press release.
If Benfica wants to be concise but reassuring about the state of health of its player, the Portuguese daily Record claims the German midfielder will be out until the end of the season. He could return to Paris sooner than expected, he who is on loan for a season in the Portuguese capital, without a purchase option.
