PSG midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery will be sidelined for the rest of 2023 after suffering an ankle injury while making his debut for France in their 14-0 win over Gibralatar on Saturday, the Ligue 1 club said on Tuesday.

The 17-year-old, who became the youngest France player since 1914 and also the youngest France scorer since that date in the Euro 2024 qualifier, was caught on his ankle by a Gibraltar defender while scoring in the 16th minute and left the pitch.

"Warren Zaire-Emery has suffered a moderate sprain of his right ankle and will remain under treatment until the winter break," PSG said in a statement.

Zaire-Emery will miss France's last Euro qualifier against Greece on Tuesday. He will also be unavailable for PSG's next five Ligue 1 fixtures and final two Champions League group games.

Saudi Soccer League Remains as Ambitious as Ever, CEO Says

Despite a relatively quiet transfer window in Saudi Arabia, the arrival of Ivan Toney and Joao Cancelo shows that the ambitions of the Saudi Pro League remain as high as ever, according to league chief executive Omar Mugharbel.

August ended with Al-Ahli of Jeddah signing deal with London club Brentford for Toney on Friday, three days after Premier League champion Manchester City sold Cancelo to Riyadh’s Al-Hilal.

“This is only the beginning with more transfers on the pitch and more development off the pitch,” Mugharbel told The Associated Press as the SPL summer transfer window ended Monday.

“The reality is that there have been a lot of signings this summer but maybe not the ones that the media are most interested in,” said Mugharbel, who became CEO in January.

He also said that last season they had a lot of opportunities to sign star players either "because they had the positions available in the clubs themselves or there were a lot of interesting players that we wanted to recruit into the league.”

“For the most part, most of the players that we brought in or the clubs brought in are actually still in the league, which is a positive sign that things are moving in the right direction,” he added.

“I think what we’ve managed to do last season is really open up the league and create an attractive proposition for star players,” stressed Mugharbel. “We are continuing on the same path.”
