Saturday during PSG-Strasbourg (9th day), Parisian coach Luis Enrique will be deprived of one of the midfield starters.

He has been one of the notable satisfactions of Paris Saint-Germain since the start of the season. But Warren Zaire-Emery will not be able to help his teammates on Saturday against Strasbourg, when Ligue 1 resumes (9th day – kick-off at 5 p.m.).

During the international break, the captain of the French youth team was injured during the card scored Tuesday evening against Cyprus (9-0). The 17-year-old midfielder, injured in the left ankle, is out, PSG said in a press release on Friday.

We also learn that central defender Presnel Kimpembé and Spanish midfielder Marco Asensio are also unavailable, busy continuing their recovery protocol.
