Operated for a cartilage problem in his right knee last Monday in Denmark, he contracted phlebitis, coupled with a pulmonary embolism following the surgery, his club announced in a press release on Tuesday March 22. We would have preferred to tell you something else tonight! https://t.co/qLWjoosRYF — PSG Handball (@psghand) March 22, 2022 “Currently cared for by the medical staff of Paris Saint-Germain, Mikkel Hansen is out of danger today but will still have to follow treatment with anticoagulants for a period of 4 to 6 months”, reassured the club about the Dane’s state of health. “This treatment is not compatible with a high-level contact sport, the Parisian number 24 will not be able to resume competition this season”, adds the club from the capital. The Dane, who will join Aalborg next season, will therefore no longer play in the Paris Saint-Germain jersey, which he wore for ten years and with which he won 18 trophies. A blow for Paris, which loses one of its best players in the quest for the Champions League, but the main thing is elsewhere. “Paris Saint-Germain gives all its support to “Mikki” for this long period of convalescence”, punctuates the press release from the Parisian club.
