• Warren Zaïre-Emery will not play football again in 2023
• The PSG midfielder made history when he made his debut for France but only lasted 20 minutes
• He is set to be out until January 2024

Barely a week after making history for France, Paris Saint-Germain youngster Warren Zaïre-Emery has been ruled out for the rest of 2023 with an ankle injury.

The 17-year-old became France's youngest player and goalscorer since 1914 in the Euro 2024 qualifier against Gibraltar.

In a statement through their website, PSG announced that the midfielder had "suffered a moderate sprain of his right ankle" and will be out until January 2024.

Zaïre-Emery has been getting plaudits this season and received his first call-up for the November international break. He made his debut for the two-time World Cup winners and scored his first goal in the 16th minute.

It has been an eventful two weeks for the PSG youngster.

He received his first call-up to the French national team, made his debut and scored his first goal and breaking a 100-year record in the process.

"He's ready," said Kylian Mbappé in his post-match interview. "Playing in your first match like that, undaunted, playing your game... I know what it's like to start young, it's not easy to do what he's doing. You have to recognise how impressive that is," via Ligue 1.

Zaïre-Emery has made 15 appearances for PSG this season and has started 14 of them.
