Lucas Chevalier came dangerously close to disaster. The 24-year-old PSG goalkeeper suffered a brutal challenge from Lamine Camara during the defeat in Monaco — a tackle that went viral and shocked everyone, especially as Chevalier left the stadium limping.
Early signs, however, are reassuring. According to L’Équipe, there will be no medical exams needed. “Based on initial observations, Lucas Chevalier, who left Louis-II limping, won’t require further tests.
The staff will simply ask him to undergo treatment over the coming days, and he should be available for the match against Rennes.” A huge sigh of relief after an action that looked terrifying in real time.
Chevalier’s ankle did twist on impact, but his flexibility likely saved him from a serious sprain. The verdict: a heavy blow, plenty of pain, but no major injury. The goalkeeper himself admits how close he came to something far worse.
“Everyone saw my ankle. My career could have taken a very different turn”
“Everyone saw my ankle. My career could have taken a very different turn — I was very lucky,” he said. “Sometimes there are tackles you simply have to avoid. I’m just grateful I can keep playing every week.”
PSG can breathe again, though Chevalier will remain under observation in the coming days. Now they hope the recovery continues smoothly — and that referees do a better job of protecting players in moments like this.
