Intermittent but worrying decline / the unexpected disappearance of Nous in Paris!

Joao Nús seems to be losing his place at Paris Saint-Germain and the Portugal national team.

According to "Verzeh Se", the French newspaper Ekip reports that the role of this national midfielder in the main composition of Paris and Portugal has diminished, but emphasizes that this club "considers the current situation to be temporary".

After months of consistent presence in the French capital, Joao Nous is now having his toughest days since joining the Parc des Princes. According to the report of the reliable Ekip newspaper, the position of this Portuguese international midfielder has been shaken and due to his noticeable decline in performance in recent months, he has "temporarily dropped in the team's hierarchy".

The statistics and the recent decisions of the head coach of the Parisians clearly indicate the diminution of the role of this 22-year-old player who was trained in the Benfica academy.

In the decisive match against Manchester City, which was accompanied by a 4-2 victory in the European Champions League, Nos was on the field for only 15 minutes. In addition, the French publication notes that the Portuguese player "scored just one goal in a PSG shirt during the whole of 2026".

The game-making indicators have also put this Portuguese player under the microscope; Nous is in the 12th place in the Paris team's line-breaking pass rating and is significantly lower than Vitinia, and even his teammates such as Fabian Ruiz and Warren Zaire Emery have surpassed him.

The team also reminds that this decrease in playing minutes has also reflected in the Portuguese national team; Where this midfielder "has given his place to Vitinia, a player whose characteristics are more in line with the wishes of Jorge Jesus, the head coach of the national team".

Despite the decrease in playing minutes, the management elements of the French club avoid any unnecessary worries. According to this newspaper, Paris Saint-Germain considers this drop to be "completely temporary" and announced that the management of the minutes of the Portuguese international was done only to protect him and control physical warnings in order to avoid more serious injuries in the long marathon of the season.
