The deadline is fast approaching and on May 31 in Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan will compete in the Champions League final. A shock match for which each training is preparing for the best it can. While PSG won the French Cup on Saturday evening against Reims (3-0), the Milanese club takes care of its wounded, including Lautaro Martinez and Benjamin Pavard.

The two men have been absent for several weeks. For Argentinian, this is a problem with a thigh. For French, it's an ankle. Benjamin Pavard has not played since April 27 and heals slowly but surely. The latest news is rather encouraging, so much so that it is planned to set it up against Paris. The fact remains that a long period without playing can have an impact and the evolution of the tricolor in training will be scrutinized closely this week.

Benjamin Pavard and Lautaro Martinez will in any case be present for the training session scheduled for Monday at 5 p.m. From a more general point of view, Simone Inzaghi has chosen to preserve its eleven type as much as possible. Thus, and despite the stake, the Nerazzurro coach had not aligned his best players last weekend in Como when Inter had (slim) hope of finishing champion in front of Napoli.

Pavard had not played the PSG-Bayern final

In comments relayed by The teamInzaghi's assistant, Massimiliano Farris, also confirmed the choices taken about the state of form of the interist. “We have preserved players who must arrive in the best possible condition in Munich. »» Present on the Bayern Munich side in 2020 in the Champions League final won against PSG (0-1), Benjamin Pavard was only replacement and had not come into play.

Almost five years later (the final had exceptionally took place at the end of August due to the COVID), the former Stade Malherbe could well start the match. Inter Milan hopes that it can count on him and his best elements to put all the odds on his side against the Parisian armada.
