After almost 10 months of absence, Nuno Mendes returns to the group for the meeting between Paris Saint-Germain and Stade Rennais this Sunday.
This is news that Paris Saint-Germain supporters have been waiting for a long time. Nuno Mendes is (finally) part of the group selected by Luis Enrique for the match against Stade Rennais, this Sunday at 5:05 p.m., as part of the 23rd day of Ligue 1.
The left back has not played for ten months due to a thigh injury that he struggled to treat. Having undergone surgery in September, the former Sporting player took the time he needed to fully recover, and it has now been almost two weeks since he participated in most training sessions. His presence in the group is a good signal, and good news, even if it is not certain that Luis Enrique will bring him into play.
An important option for Luis Enrique
For PSG, the gradual return of Nuno Mendes is big news. With Milan Skriniar’s injury, Luis Enrique could be required to start Lucas Hernandez in the center more regularly. The return of Nuno Mendes could allow the Parisian coach not to have to rely too much on the inexperienced Lucas Beraldo.
The PSG group: Donnarumma, Navas, Tenas – Danilo, Beraldo, Hernandez, Mendes, Hakimi, Mukiele – Ugarte, Ruiz, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Lee, Soler – Mbappé, Dembélé, Barcola, Ramos, Asensio, Kolo Muani.
