PARIS (AP) - Paris Saint-Germain will be without Vitinha at least until the end of the week after the Portugal midfielder limped off with a right heel injury during a 2-1 loss to Lyon in the French league over the weekend.
PSG said Vitinha is sidelined by an inflammation in his right heel following a knock sustained during the match.
"Vitinha will undergo treatment over the next few days. A further assessment will be carried out at the end of the week," PSG said.
Despite the loss, PSG remained top of the standings, one point ahead of Lens with a game in hand. But PSG still has to travel to Lens in May, after the league postponed their game on April 11 due to PSG´s involvement in the Champions League.
PSG's next Ligue 1 match is at home against Nantes on Wednesday. It then travels to Angers on Saturday.
