Paris Saint-Germain travels to San Siro for their second round against AC Milan in the Champions League, this Tuesday evening (9 p.m.).
Concentrated on the performance of his team, Luis Enrique necessarily keeps an informed eye on his evening opponent, AC Milan. Because in the ranks of the Lombard club, times are tough. Tamed by the Parisians at the Parc des Princes two weeks ago (0-3), the Rossoneri approach this second round with a completely decimated squad.
In fact, Stefano Pioli still hoped to recover several players subscribed to the infirmary in recent weeks. Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze fill out a very limited offensive sector, but these two elements will not be 100%. An observation which also applies to central defender Simon Kjaer, as well as Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Rade Krunic, all weakened after physical problems during the start of the season.
Théo Hernandez worried
Finally, the situation of Théo Hernandez is of concern. Forfeited for the match against Udinese this weekend – in which AC Milan lost (0-1) – the French vice-world champion, replaced by Alessandro Florenzi, began a race against time to be operational. But the timing remains very short… Lucas Hernandez’s younger brother had already appeared in difficulty during the first confrontation in Paris. If it is operational to be aligned this Tuesday evening, the left side of Milan, considered the strong point of the Italian team, could be a little less difficult to manage for the Parisian defense.
