Paris Saint-Germain have received a major injury update as they prepare for one of the biggest matches of the season. Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, and Fabian Ruiz have all returned to group training ahead of the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, 28 April 2026, at Parc des Princes.
This timely boost comes at a crucial moment for Luis Enrique’s side, the reigning Champions League holders, as they aim to reach another final.
Vitinha Returns to Full Training
Portuguese midfielder Vitinha missed recent Ligue 1 matches, including the trip to Angers, due to inflammation in his right heel sustained during the 2-1 loss to Lyon. Recent reports indicated his condition was “evolving favourably,” and the latest training pictures confirm he has rejoined collective sessions.
Vitinha is a key player in PSG’s midfield, providing control, vision, and energy. His potential availability for the Bayern clash is excellent news, though Luis Enrique will likely manage his minutes carefully to avoid any setback.
Nuno Mendes Back and Ready
As per reports, left-back Nuno Mendes has overcome a thigh issue that kept him under monitoring in recent weeks. The dynamic Portuguese defender was present in the opening phase of collective training alongside several teammates, signaling he is on track for the semi-final.
Mendes’ attacking overlaps and defensive solidity make him a vital asset, especially against a Bayern side known for width and pace.
Fabian Ruiz Completes the Positive Update
Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz has made a strong recovery after nearly three months sidelined with a knee injury. He has gradually built match fitness with substitute appearances and is now fully integrated back into group training.
Ruiz adds depth and experience to the midfield, giving Enrique valuable rotation options as PSG balance domestic and European commitments.
