Following an ankle injury against Gibraltar during his senior France international debut, PSG midfielder Warren Zaïre-Emery (17) has made his return to on-pitch action for Les Parisiens. The youngster from the Paris suburbs was substituted on during the second half of PSG’s Ligue 1 clash with Nantes, the result finely poised at 1-1 on his entry into action.
For the remainder of the half, he sat in his usual central midfield position – dictating play and linking passes as Les Parisiens sought to find a winner against a resolute Nantes side. Eventually, the winner was ultimately found by Randal Kolo Muani on the 82nd minute via a rebounded Parisian free-kick as Luis Enrique’s side saw off Les Canaris.
Zaïre-Emery has been a key part of Luis Enrique’s midfield this season, featuring in 11 Ligue 1 matches and all four Champions League clashes so far this campaign. The PSG youth product is already on two goals and two assists in domestic action, and three assists in the Champions League.
His return to action with PSG against Nantes comes just before Les Parisiens face a do-or-die trip to Borussia Dortmund next week in the Champions League, with qualification from Group F in the hands of the visitors.
