“To minimize the risk of recurrence, the Paris Saint-Germain medical staff opted for an operation,” the club said, with the surgery taking place in Finland on Tuesday.
Sanches, who joined PSG from Lille last summer, injured his right adductor muscle during Saturday’s 2-0 win at Nice.
“He is expected to return to training in three to four weeks, depending on how the injury develops,” PSG said.
PSG was already without several important injured players, including Neymar, Marco Verratti and Presnel Kimpembe.
PSG and Lens face off on Saturday at the Parc des Princes.
