The Paris club lost one of its main defenders, center-back Mario Yepes, to a shin injury until the end of this season. This Colombian national team player came to Europe from his country in the summer of 2004 and signed a contract with the Paris club. M.Yepes immediately became a solid member of the starting lineup. This season he played in 21 matches (19 in the starting lineup), scoring 1 goal. Due to his excellent defensive qualities, Mario Yepes was nicknamed "Super Mario" in France, and his salary in Ligue 1 was one of the highest - 250,000 euros per month. "It's a huge setback for the team," said club president Alain Cayzacas. It will be clear on Tuesday whether the player needs surgery. This season, not experiencing the best times, "P.S.G" currently occupies only 17th place in the national championship, and in the UEFA Cup sixteenth final next week, they will face AEK from Athens.
