PSG Confirm Warren Zaïre-Emery Injury As Midfielder Suffers Thigh Issue Against Marseille

Paris Saint-Germain confirmed the news through an official medical update on the Paris Saint-Germain Official Website. The midfielder suffered a minor left thigh injury against Olympique de Marseille on Sunday, September 20, 2026. He will therefore undergo treatment throughout the week. While the French Football Federation (FFF) initially mentioned an adductor issue, medical staff have recommended immediate rest without setting a definitive return date.

The setback forces the Paris academy graduate to pull out of the upcoming France national team fixtures in the Nations League. Head coach Zinédine Zidane called up Maghnes Akliouche to cover the midfield absence. The Parisian winger, who came off the bench at the Stade Vélodrome, capitalises on the withdrawal to link up with the senior international squad.

This muscle issue stems directly from the huge physical effort expended on Ligue 1 matchday 5. Deployed for 90 minutes in the unfamiliar role of right-back to cover for Achraf Hakimi, Warren Zaïre-Emery worked tirelessly in a hostile atmosphere. That relentless work rate on the defensive flank ultimately overloaded a body heavily taxed since the start of the campaign.

The Parisian academy graduate earns huge praise for his commitment, yet these tactical shifts risk jeopardising his fitness. Paris Saint-Germain must manage their prized talent carefully ahead of massive Champions League fixtures. The club is taking no chances with his condition.
