While PSG must deal with a midfield stripped due to injuries, the departure of Marco Varretti during the last summer transfer window raises questions.
PSG had a complicated start to the afternoon in Le Havre. If the capital club finally managed to preserve the essentials by dominating the HAC 2-0, the first minutes of the meeting were nightmarish. Consequence of the exclusion of Gianluigi Donnarumma after a catastrophic exit outside his area and the exit due to injury of Fabian Ruiz, hit in the shoulder in an aerial collision a few moments earlier.
Victim of discomfort on the sidelines due to pain, the Spanish midfielder risks being absent for several weeks despite the absence of a fracture, which could encourage Parisian leaders to review their plans this winter and recruit in midfield. In the immediate future, Luis Enrique will have to cope without the former Neapolitan during the decisive trip to Dortmund and this absence will be added to that of Warren Zaire-Emery, injured in the ankle and on the flank until 2024.
Dear Ndour does not seem to have convinced the Spanish technician, the latter will only be able to count on Danilo Pereira, Manuel Ugarte and Vitinha in the midfield, unless he brings down a player with a more offensive profile like Kang-In Lee. Enough to make some people regret the departure of Maco Verratti during the summer transfer window. “ I’m sorry, but this puts the spotlight on offseason sports management. I’m willing to evacuate Marco Verratti, but you can only evacuate him if you have his replacement, said Nabil Djellit on the set of L’Equipe du soir. And that wasn’t the case. Verratti had a double advantage, he was able to recover balls and bring creativity, which is lacking since Neymar has left. If PSG finds itself in this situation, it is also partly the responsibility of Luis Enrique who no longer wanted him. Paris pays for Verratti’s departure. »
