On Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain are preparing to put their title on the line against Lorient when Ligue 1 resumes. For this meeting against Les Merlus, five players should not be on the score sheet, among them are Neymar and Marco Verratti. Indeed, coach Luis Enrique and Luis Campos (football adviser) informed the two Parisians that they were not counting on them for the coming season.
In addition, Neymar and Verratti, already absent during the last two collective sessions, did not participate in media day, a day devoted to taking official photos for the Professional Football League (LFP). Having become undesirable, are the two players mentioned likely to join the lofters and Kylian Mbappé? Not so sure according to the information reported by The Parisian who writes that “In the Brazilian’s entourage, we were firmly assured this Wednesday that the Parisian number 10 “would stay where he is”, understand in Luis Enrique’s training group”. With regard to the Italian, the regional daily adds that its representatives “did not wish to comment at this time” but a departure in the next few days seems likely. One thing is certain, Luis Enrique will start his season against Les Merlus with a reduced squad.
