Two days before their entry into the Club World Cup, Parisian players continue to acclimatize. Landed at the start of the week for the most part, the European Champions costs are recovering from time difference and get used to the heat that rages in California. On Sunday, for their match against Atletico Madrid, 31 ° C are announced, but with a suffocating felt temperature of 38 ° C, and the UV index will be 11.
The men of Luis Enrique will therefore be put to the test and this all the more since they will have to deal with their best player. Victim of a muscular lesion during the shock against Spain in the League of Nations, Ousmane Dembélé is indeed on the side for several days.
A doubt concerning Bradley Barcola
The former Rennais has certainly resumed training, but for the time being only very light sessions. After indoor exercises, the tricolor world champion was content to trot on Thursday, three days before the shock against the Colchoneros. Its package is made and everything suggests that it will not be given enough for the second match against Botafogo, next Friday.
Another uncertainty hovers in view of the match against Atletico Madrid, this time concerning Bradley Barcola. The former Lyonnais received a blow on the knee during his visit to the French team and was left to follow an à la carte training, according to RMC Sport and his presence against the Colchoneros remains uncertain.
Returning later from selection, Marquinhos, Lucas Beraldo, Willian Pacho, Kang-in Lee but also Gianluigi Donnarumma were normally trained and seem good for the service for Sunday.
