PSG undoubtedly lost one of its players for several weeks following the international break.
Less than a week before its entry into the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund, PSG has some reasons for concern. The international break was not without problems for the (many) Parisian players called up for selection. In great shape before joining the France team, Kylian Mbappé was unable to play the friendly match against Spain. Consequence of a knee problem, according to Didier Deschamps.
“Kylian has a problem with his patellar tendon following training yesterday (Monday)”explained the French coach after the meeting, adding: “It’s not serious, but it’s a problem that bothers him and with risks too. So if he doesn’t start, bringing him in won’t improve his situation. » What necessarily raises questions while PSG must face Nice, from Friday, at the opening of the 5e day of Ligue 1 before continuing against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday for their entry into the Champions League.
But the worst news came from Spain. Particularly in the spotlight since his arrival this summer, Marco Asensio seriously injured his foot during the defeat against Georgia. Forfeited for the second match against Cyprus, the former Madrilenian returned to Paris but PSG has still not communicated about his injury. But according to Luis de la Fuente, his absence should last several weeks. The Spanish coach has in fact suggested to AS that his unavailability should indeed prevent him from being present for the next two matches against Scotland and Norway, in mid-October, in more than a month.
