At PSG, injuries are like ketchup: when they arrive, they all come at the same time. In recent days, the capital's club has had to manage two very bad news with the injuries of Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué during the international break with the French team. A situation which had also caused the anger of PSG, which had nevertheless asked the medical staff of the Blues to spare its players. In vain. The loss of the two Parisian offensives intervened at the worst time, while the Champions League began in just a few days.

So this Sunday, when challenging RC Lens in Ligue 1, the challenge was to ensure victory while preserving its workforce for the first day of C1 against Atalanta. And if PSG took the three points this afternoon, he also chained the bad news in terms of injuries. The first concerned Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian striker, holder on the right flank, was quickly hit in the calf at the start of the game. After trying to continue, he was finally forced to go out at half an hour of play. The former Napoli returned directly to the locker room, a blow for Paris.

Hard blow for Luis Enrique

One would have thought that this loss was enough to lead the PSG evening. But unfortunately for Parisian supporters, it was only the beginning. Placed in the midfield, Kang-in Lee also injured himself after a strike. Gricging on the ground, the South Korean versatile has given way to Senny Mayulu. It could have stopped there. But the nightmare continued a little later: aligned in the defense axis to blow the executives, Lucas Beraldo had to be evacuated on a stretcher after having twisted the ankle. “Unfortunately, we had Kvara who took a tackle in the first half. I think Kang in is not too serious. The most serious is Berado. We're going to see. I don't know what he has. We need everyone because it's going to be a long season “confided after the Lucas Hernandez meeting.

For his part, in the mixed zone, Bradley Barcola was a more reassuring speech. “We are happy with the result but it is true that it is a big black point for those who came out. For Beraldo, I don't know seriousness. I haven't seen it since, so I don't know. When you think of the team, it's worrying. But we hope that it does not matter. LDC? We hope to have everyone as quickly as possible to keep the trophy. ” After a trying season when the Parisians had been spared from the injuries, this start to the season shows that Luis Enrique will have to manage his workforce with care. Faced with Atalanta, PSG will probably be deprived of 5 players. And it necessarily counts.
