Tochukwu Nnadi declines knee surgery to target PSG return

Olympique de Marseille midfielder Tochukwu Nnadi has reportedly declined a recommended knee surgery in favor of a more conservative and risky recovery protocol. The decision aims to significantly reduce his time away from the pitch.

Nnadi is reportedly targeting a return for the upcoming match against Paris Saint-Germain on September 20. While this timeline is considered highly ambitious by some, his entourage has opted for this alternative path to avoid the several-month absence that surgery would necessitate.

The midfielder's absence is a significant concern for coach Bruno Genesio, as the team has struggled with defensive stability in the midfield during recent matches against Monaco and Paris FC. Other projections suggest a more realistic return might occur after the international break, potentially by the match against Troyes on October 11.
