The Parisian answer was expected. At the end of a hectic international break, the controversy around the injuries of Ousmane Dembélé, absent for at least six weeks, and Désiré Doué, which should miss about four weeks of competition, is still debated. Following the injuries of the two Parisians, PSG had “Urgently called a new Medico-Sportive Coordination Protocol between clubs and national selection”to which Didier Deschamps was defended by explaining that zero risk did not exist.
And while the arms passes continued between the French Football Federation and PSG, Luis Enrique was to prepare for questions on the subject before the reception of the RC Lens, this Sunday. And without throwing oil on the fire, the Asturian preferred to remain sober. “Nothing I can say here will improve the health of injured players. This is the most important thing. We stay focused on that. I am worried about each player who is injured. But it is normal in football, I remain focused on improving the health of players, for me and for the club ”he said.
Luis Enrique confident with his group
And concerning the solutions, Luis Enrique claims to have confidence in his group. “Gonçalo Ramos?” I don't just think of a player, I think of the team mentality to take advantage of this moment and be ready to continue winning. This is the mentality of a team. This is our plan to adopt for the next matches. There is also Ibrahim Mbaye, a pure winger. But it's a detail, because players know how to play on the left and right, in the middle … The best players know how to play in all positions ”.
Because Luis Enrique will have to quickly find the right solution, before a major calendar. “It's not easy to manage, because each player has a different situation. Three days later, we will have a first Champions League match, then a match in Marseille. It is our work, it is no different from last year ”assured the ex-selection of Spain, rather favorable to the merger of truces of September and October: “I think we have to think about improving the quality of play and for that, we need the health of the players, to control the numbers of matches played. But there are economic interests. Each solution can be positive “.
