PSG Sidelines Lucas Chevalier With Right-Thigh Injury

The layoff threatens his place on France’s World Cup list to be named May 14.

Overview

  • PSG, which disclosed the injury Wednesday, said the backup goalkeeper will stay in treatment for the coming weeks after a right-thigh lesion in training.
  • Le Parisien reports an absence of about three weeks, ruling him out of next week’s Champions League semi-final return against Bayern Munich.
  • Chevalier has not played for roughly three months after losing the starting job to Matvey Safonov under coach Luis Enrique.
  • French media say his World Cup spot is now uncertain, with Robin Risser or Jean Butez mentioned as options and Alphonse Areola back in view after recent West Ham outings.
  • The 24-year-old moved from Lille to PSG in August 2025 for a reported €40–55 million and is signed through 2030, adding pressure on the club to justify the investment.
