Paris Saint-Germain FC's Portuguese midfield player Hugo Leal will miss the rest of the season through injury.
Summer purchase
The 21-year-old, who joined the club from Club Atlético de Madrid for €5.5m last summer, underwent an operation in Barcelona on his knee-ligament injury on Tuesday. Leal damaged his knee during the French Cup semi-final defeat by FC Lorient.
Eyeing Europe
He has made 26 appearances for the French side, scoring twice, and will be sorely missed as third-placed PSG chase a UEFA Champions league place.
