Overview
- PSG remained top of Ligue 1 after the draw, but their lead shrank to a slender advantage with Monaco one point back.
- Nuno Mendes opened the scoring in the 49th minute before Igor Silva equalized two minutes later, and Lorient keeper Yvon Mvogo made key saves to preserve the result.
- PSG announced that 20-year-old Désiré Doué sustained a right-leg muscle injury and will be sidelined for several weeks, ruling him out of next week’s Champions League match against Bayern Munich.
- Doué was stretchered off in visible pain during the second half, having already missed time earlier this season with a calf strain after starring in last season’s European run.
- Ousmane Dembélé returned to the starting lineup after weeks out, as PSG prepare to face Nice in Ligue 1 before traveling to Bayern in the group stage.
