There is a possibility that he may require ankle surgery. As a result, RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins shared his information regarding the veteran defender, noting that Škriniar’s season could be over or, at the very least, months instead of weeks, and there’s a chance he may require surgery on his ankle.

PSG did bring Lucas Beraldo, who made his debut in the win over Toulouse. However, if Škriniar is gone for months, the Ligue 1 side will need to find another center-back to help replace the former Inter Milan star.
