Paris Saint-Germain defender Layvin Kurzawa has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury in training. The 25-year-old was playing with his team-mates when he twisted his knee and had to be taken off the pitch on a stretcher.

The news is a major blow for PSG, who have already lost several key players to injuries this season. Kurzawa's absence means that they will now have to rely more heavily on their other defenders, including Presnel Kimpembe and Marquinhos.

However, the impact of Kimpembe's injury could be even greater than Kurzawa's. The Frenchman has been one of PSG's most important players this season, providing both defensive cover and attacking support. His loss could leave PSG vulnerable at the back, as well as in attack.

Despite the setback, PSG manager Thomas Tuchel remains confident that his team can still compete for the title. "We're going to miss Layvin Kurzawa,Saudi Pro League Focus but we also have some very good options," he said. "Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, we've got some really good players."

Tuchel added that the team will need to work together to fill the void left by Kurzawa's departure. "It's not easy, but it's what we do every day," he said. "We'll try our best to find solutions and make sure we're ready for the next game."
