PSG, a concern and two absences against Monaco

Beaten on Friday evening against Stade Rennais (3-1), Paris Saint-Germain did not prepare in the best way for its next meeting. On Tuesday, Luis Enrique’s men will head to Monaco to play their first leg of the Champions League play-offs (9 p.m.). A meeting for which the Spanish coach will have to do without at least two players.

According to information from Parisian revealed this Sunday, Fabian Ruiz will not be there. The midfielder, who has been absent since January 20, has still not recovered from a left knee injury. Too short for this European meeting, he continues his individual training.

This will not be the only absence on the Parisian side because Senny Mayulu will not be operational either. After missing the trip to Rennes, the young offensive player was hampered by a physical problem felt during the “Classic” won against OM (5-0). Yet another option less for Luis Enrique in midfield.

Ousmane Dembélé operational for PSG-Monaco?

Two recorded absences, but also a little uncertainty. A priori, Ousmane Dembélé should be present but the medical staff remains attentive to the evolution of the slight discomfort felt by the 2025 Ballon d’Or on Friday evening, which forced him to leave as a precaution in the 73rd minute of play. Everything should become clearer after the last training session.

For João Neves, the media indicated that the light was green. A small shoulder problem for the Portuguese midfielder, but not enough to deprive him of this Champions League match. A meeting that is also very important for Parisians who will have to show a completely different face than that of Friday.
