This is the bad news of the day for PSG. The club informed at midday of the injury to Matvey Safonov, victim of a fracture in his left hand, visibly contracted during the penalty shootout against Flamengo where he was heroic in repelling four opposing attempts. This injury comes at the worst time for the Russian, who was overturning the hierarchy of goalkeepers in his duel with Lucas Chevalier.
The Frenchman will therefore be able to regain the number one position in the next matches, but perhaps not in the Coupe de France tomorrow evening (9 p.m.) against Vendée Fontenay Foot. The 3rd goalkeeper, Renato Marin, could make his very first appearance with the Rouge et Bleu. “We will do as usual. I give the information to the players first. Then you will know my decision”explained Luis Enrique at a press conference, keeping the suspense alive.
