The time for the big return to school is fast approaching for the majority of Ligue 1 clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, which returned to training on Monday as planned. The first friendly match scheduled will be against the Austrian team Sturm Graz on Wednesday, August 7. Almost all of the key players were not present due to the Euro, the Copa América, the Euro U19 or the Paris Olympic Games.
If Dembélé, Barcola, Kolo Muani, Zaïre-Emery, Ruiz, Skriniar, Donnarumma, Vitinha, Danilo Pereira, Nuno Mendes, Gonçalo Ramos, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Ugarte, Hakimi and Tenas were missing, Luis Enrique and his staff could count on certain elements already on deck this Monday including the Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov (25 years old), recruited for €20 million from Krasnodar this summer, but also the Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Moscardo (18 years old), bought injured last winter.
