accident on Friday, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PSG_English\/status\/1964060058267922933\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:the club have confirmed;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">the club have confirmed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The 55-year-old former Barcelona manager is a passionate cyclist who frequently competes in endurance events.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Enrique has always combined his coaching duties with his love of the sport, even completing an arduous eight-day, 700km mountain race in South Africa last year.<\/p>\n<p>The setback comes at a delicate moment for PSG, with the French champions preparing to return from the international break.<\/p>\n<p>They face Lens in Ligue 1 on September 14 before their Champions League title defence begins against Atalanta three days later.<\/p>\n<p>It remains unclear whether Enrique will be fit to take his place on the touchline for either fixture.<\/p>\n<p>Recovery from a fractured collarbone usually requires surgery, followed by six to eight weeks of rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Enrique took charge at the Parc des Princes in the summer of 2023 and has since delivered one of the most successful periods in the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Spanish tactician\u2019s leadership, PSG have won back-to-back Ligue 1 titles and French Cups.<\/p>\n<p>PSG also claimed their long-awaited first Champions League crown last season, when they dismantled Inter Milan 5-0 in a stunning final in Munich.<\/p>\n<p>Enrique also guided the Parisians to the final of the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup this summer, where Chelsea beat them.<\/p>\n<p>PSG have started the current campaign strongly, winning all three of their Ligue 1 matches and lifting the UEFA Super Cup after beating Europa League winners Tottenham Hotspur on penalties.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Enrique was in the dugout last on August 30, overseeing a 6-3 victory over Toulouse in which Portuguese midfielder Joao Neves scored a fantastic hat-trick.<\/p>\n<p>His absence on the touchline would be a significant blow as PSG seek to maintain their domestic dominance and defend their European crown.<\/p>\n<p>PSG stars Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele also picked up injuries while away on international duty for France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) head coach Luis Enrique will undergo surgery after fracturing his collarbone in a cycling
