At the moment, with Paris Saint-Germain attackers, there are practically only two categories. There are those who are injured, like Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué. And there are those who play but who are not at 100% of their physical capabilities, like Bradley Barcola.
The former Lyonnais is clearly struggling at the start of the season. With 4 goals in 15 matches, he struggles to be decisive. Hit in the thigh in September, Barcola missed only one match, the trip to Marseille. But since the Parisian staff had difficulty doing without him given the context, he must play and manage himself. At the risk of disappointing.
“ It’s very difficult to evaluate Bradley over the last few months, he often only plays at 50%.” thus assures in L’Equipe those around him, obliged to come to his aid. Tired after the defeat against Bayern, he remained on the bench the entire match on Sunday in Lyon (2-3).
Barcola, Deschamps says yes
In the meantime, Bradley Barcola has not lost credit in the eyes of Didier Deschamps in the French team. Holder and scorer in September in Poland against Ukraine (2-1), preserved in October, the former Lyonnais is back in the Blues group for the November rally.
According to L’Equipe, Barcola should even start Thursday evening for the return match against Ukraine. While Hugo Ekitiké could have applied, the coach chose the Parisian winger to occupy the left flank, with Michael Olise and Rayan Cherki on the right and in the axis behind Kylian Mbappé.
