Paris Saint-Germain’s defeat against Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening (1-2), during the fourth day of the Champions League, left serious marks and caused serious injuries. Victim of a dangerous tackle from Luis Diaz, Achraf Hakimi suffered a sprained left ankle, while Nuno Mendes suffered a sprained left knee. Two detrimental absences for PSG?
Although the answer is obviously positive, it must however be tempered by statistics. Since last season, Luis Enrique has had to do without his two full-backs in the same meeting twelve times. And out of these twelve matches, PSG only lost one, more precisely against Strasbourg.
In addition to this setback, Paris conceded three draws in the combined absence of the Moroccan and the Portuguese. The fact remains that this time, the capital club will be forced to play several weeks without these two full-backs. A big blow for the Parisians who will have to rely on their replacements in the meantime.
Busy schedule for PSG
Current leader of the championship, PSG will begin this somewhat uncertain period with a trip to Lyon this Sunday (8:45 p.m.). After the international break, he will host Le Havre on November 22 before welcoming Tottenham four days later, this time for the fifth day of the Champions League. And we will then have to continue with a trip to Monaco (on the 29th).
Ousmane Dembélé’s form is not good either, he who still suffers from hamstrings. Bradley Barcola said he was tired this Thursday. PSG
