Overview
- Paris Saint-Germain said President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi invited Dos Santos to watch PSG–Metz from a box at the Parc des Princes, though Al-Khelaïfi was in Doha and not at the stadium.
- A day earlier, FC Metz shared a video of Dos Santos making a surprise visit to the first-team locker room, where teammates applauded and presented a jersey reading "On est avec toi Tahirys."
- Dos Santos suffered third-degree burns on roughly 30% of his body, including his back, face, hands and arms, and underwent an emergency skin graft in Stuttgart before beginning rehabilitation in Metz.
- He was injured on New Year’s Eve in the Crans-Montana blaze in Switzerland that killed 41 people and injured more than 100, after risking his life to help his girlfriend, who was also seriously burned.
- No return-to-play date has been set, he hopes to rejoin training, and local reporting indicates Metz is expected to extend his trainee deal beyond June.
