Anfield was a scene of medical drama during the Champions League quarter-final clash as both sides suffered major blows.

However, for the visitors, the biggest concern involves their French phenom, sparking the question: Is Desire Doue injured for the long term?

Desire Doue Injury: What Happened?

The incident unfolded in the 51st minute when Desire Doue was involved in a heavy collision with Dominik Szoboszlai. While the tackle was deemed fair, the momentum sent Doue crashing into the pitch-side equipment. Despite a brave attempt to continue, the young star quickly pulled up in significant pain, forcing Luis Enrique to introduce Bradley Barcola, who returned to action following his ankle injury picked up against Chelsea.

Initial reports suggest a potential ankle sprain, leaving fans and management awaiting scan results with bated breath. Given his vital role in PSG's attacking fluidity, this Desire Doue injury could not have come at a worse time as the club enters the most demanding phase of the season. Whether he can recover in time for the semi-finals remains the burning question for the Parisian giants.
