Luis Enrique broke his collarbone in a cycling accident on Friday and the Paris Saint-Germain coach was to undergo surgery, the French champions said.
The 55-year-old Spaniard, a cycling enthusiast, led PSG to their first Champions League triumph last season, and the team have won three straight games to open their Ligue 1 title defence.
“Following a cycling accident on Friday, Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique was treated by the emergency services and will undergo surgery for a fractured collarbone,” the club said in a statement. “The club expresses its full support and wishes him a swift recovery. Further updates will be shared in due course.”
Because of the international break, PSG’s next game is on 14 September at home to Lens, and three days later they host Atalanta to open their Champions League title defence.
