Paris Saint-Germain have been handed another major piece of bad news, with coach Thomas Tuchel confirming that Marco Verratti picked up a 'very serious' ankle injury during the French champions' 9-0 victory over Guingamp.
The Italy international went down following a challenge with Felix Eboa Eboa early in the first half and had to be helped off the field by medical staff.
Tuchel immediately signalled for substitute Julian Draxler to ready himself and Verratti took his seat on the bench while still deep in conversation with the PSG coaches. Shortly afterwards, he departed down the tunnel clutching his left boot.
