Leandro Paredes underwent surgery in Paris and will be two months without playing: does he reach the final against Italy?

After the alarms went off in the Argentine national team because footballer Leandro Paredes retired injured from the last game of Paris Saint Germain, the Parisian club has confirmed that the 27-year-old midfielder has already undergone surgery in the French capital and that he is expected to be able to return to activity in the coming months.

“Leandro Paredes, who had been suffering from pubalgia for several weeks, was successfully operated on today in Paris. The return to competition of the Parisian midfielder is expected in about 2 months”, reads the statement released by PSG itself on its official website.

The player himself also took care of bringing peace of mind through his social networks. “The operation went perfectly, now it only remains to think about getting well. Thank you all for the messages and affection you showed me these days,” he wrote on Instagram.

It is also good news for Lionel Scaloni, since Paredes is one of the fixed pieces of the Albiceleste and he has been dragging this injury on one of his abductors for a long time. The former Boca Juniors player made the decision to have surgery to nip physical problems in the bud.

Paredes had been dragging discomfort in the pubic area that, according to studies, led to a rupture of the insertion of the abdomen and damage to the adductor. In short, when going through the operating room, you must now focus on your recovery to get back to full.

He retired injured before the end of the first half of Sunday's match corresponding to Date 30 of Ligue 1 in which Paris Saint Germain won 5-1 against Lorient. Everything indicates that he will not have minutes again this season, in which he has scored 15 matches in the French domestic championship (1 goal).

Since he arrived in Paris, from Zenit St. Petersburg in January 2019, he has been gradually earning a place in a midfield that has high-caliber figures. Leandro Paredes, who has a contract with PSG until June 2023, will miss the closing of a campaign in which his team aspires to regain the league throne.

As for his commitments to the Argentine National Team, this operation jeopardizes his participation in the scheduled match against Italy at Wembley, which will be played next June 1. However, Lionel Scaloni and the national team's medical staff prefer to take the risk of doing without it on the next FIFA date but then having it in optimal condition for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
