Luis Enrique should have new options in attack for the next rounds.
Symbols of an expensive recruitment policy last summer, Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos are struggling to establish themselves on the front of the Parisian attack. In competition, the French vice-world champion and the Portuguese center forward are still in the acclimatization phase.
Before launching them into the arena, Luis Enrique had tested another option in the person of Marco Asensio. And the Spanish international had given satisfaction in a role of false number 9, as evidenced by his copies against Lens (3-1) or Lyon (4-1).
“A different option at the forefront”
While Asensio is on his way backLuis Enrique is pleased to have an alternative for his attack. “It’s true that he came out of the infirmary, he can return to the group, but he needs to get back into physical condition. We will see when he will be able to be competitive again. If he plays more on the lane, then he can come more inside and generate numerical superiority. On the left lane, with his natural foot, he can overflow to the outside. He can also add superiority between the lines, and he also offers a different option up front.
If Marco Asensio has returned to collective training, the former Real Madrid striker is still too tight for the trip to Reims this Saturday (5 p.m.).
