Two days before the clash against Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain still saw some uncertainties after the victory in Angers (0-3). Achraf Hakimi, who appeared in difficulty at the end of the first period, left prematurely, as did Lucas Hernandez and Fabián Ruiz, or even a dangerous contact involving Nuno Mendes, which fueled concerns. Especially since the Parisian coach remained deliberately vague after the meeting, refusing to give any indications, because “it was not the time to give information to Bayern”.
But the next day, the climate calmed down, according to The Parisian. The most requested players benefited from a lighter program, while the others worked normally. Above all, no serious problem seems to have been confirmed, and the doubts surrounding the state of health of Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes have dissipated over the hours. Enough to reassure the Parisian staff and Luis Enrique, despite the physical problems encountered during the trip to the SCO in Angers.
Excellent news for Vitinha
Luis Enrique should be able to count on an almost complete squad for the Champions League semi-final first leg. Because the good news also concerns Vitinha. Sidelined in recent days due to inflammation in his heel which occurred during the defeat against Olympique Lyonnais, the Portuguese midfielder is expected to return to collective training and could even apply to join the group on Tuesday evening. A significant reinforcement for Paris, which, beyond this European poster, is coming out of a perfect weekend with a new victory in Ligue 1 and one more step towards a new national title.
“All the Parisians are ready, we want to play this half against one of the best teams in Europe. But we are the reigning European Champions. We want to start this match. Everything is fine, no worries”added the Asturian technician after the victory on Saturday evening. Because only the young Quentin Ndjantou should be missing for the shock of the season, giving a glimpse of a PSG close to its eleven type for this crucial meeting against the Bavarians.
