This is not the first time that part of the Parisian wardrobe has been affected by a virus before a Ligue 1 match. This had already been the case last season, before a trip to Monaco. It remains to be seen whether Neymar and Marco Verratti will be fully recovered and able to face Les Merlus in three days. Remember that these two players are the subject of many departure rumors.
