Bad news for PSG before the clash against Milan

Luis Enrique learned of a damaging defection 24 hours before PSG’s match against Milan in the Champions League.

Tuesday evening, on the occasion of the 4e day of the Champions League, PSG visits AC Milan. An important meeting with a view to a presence in the round of 16 and which the French champions will not tackle in full.

Three absent in the PSG camp

Marco Asensio is not included in the group of 19 players selected for this fight. While the Spaniard’s return was strongly hoped for for this part, especially since he has been training normally for a week, it turns out that he is still too short to return to competition. The French champions will therefore continue to cope without him.

Asensio is not the only Parisian to have to give up this trip to Lombardy. The same goes for Danilo Pereira. The Portuguese international suffered a hamstring injury during the match against Montpellier (3-0). He will therefore not be able to hold his place against the Rossonerri. Furthermore, Keylor Navas is out due to lower back pain.

The rest of the Parisian players are all operational for this meeting. Luis Enrique should normally be able to field his typical team. In the event of a victory, PSG would be in a very favorable position to get out of their group.
