PSG defender Milan Skriniar suffers injury, needs operation on left ankle
The HinduParis Saint-Germain defender Milan Skriniar will have an operation after dislocating his left ankle, potentially ruling him out of both legs of the Champions League round-of-16 contest against Real Sociedad. The central defender limped off in the 71st minute of Wednesday’s Champions Trophy win over Toulouse and was replaced by new signing Lucas Beraldo — a 20-year-old Brazilian. Skriniar had started to settle following a difficult start to his PSG career after joining from Inter Milan, where he won the Serie A title in 2021, two Italian Cups, and reached the Champions League final last year. PSG is already without central defender Presnel Kimpembe, who is recovering from an Achilles tendon operation, leaving coach Luis Enrique with little cover in central defence.
