The 55-year-old Spaniard, a passionate cycling enthusiast, was treated by emergency services before being scheduled for an operation. PSG issued a statement wishing their manager a “swift recovery” but did not disclose the location of the accident.

Enrique, who guided PSG to their first-ever UEFA Champions League title last season, has also led the team to a perfect start in their Ligue 1 title defense with three consecutive wins.
