What happened to Luis Enrique? When will he be back?

Luis Enrique joined PSG in 2023, and since then, he has won two league titles in 2023-24 and 2024-25. The Spanish tactician became the first-ever PSG manager to help the Parisians win their first-ever Champions League trophy last season.

PSG, one of the greatest French football teams, have started from where they left off last season, having won all three matches in Ligue 1 so far. Before the international break, Enrique was last seen in the dugout when PSG beat Toulouse 6-3, thanks to Joao Neves' hat-trick, marking a high point for the team this season.

What happened to Luis Enrique? When will he be back?

Luis Enrique, the PSG manager, is known for his love for cycling and has been seen cycling around the streets of Paris. A tragic incident occurred last night when he suffered a crash and fractured his collarbone, and is now set to undergo surgery. The club confirmed the news, assuring the fans of their full support for their coach during his recovery. The 55-year-old manager was treated by emergency services immediately after the cycle accident. Medical reports have also indicated that he suffered a clavicle fracture - a common but painful injury that often occurs after a fall onto the shoulder or an outstretched arm. In Enrique's case, the break was more severe and required surgery as the bone may have shifted out of place.

While the recovery times vary, doctors and experts generally give six to eight weeks before resuming normal activity. However, a high-pressure job like football coaching could extend this timeline even further also depending on how fast the manager recovers.
