Mukiele, it's official

Affected this week in training, Nordi Mukiele is not in the PSG group which travels this Saturday evening to Orléans in the Coupe de France.

A new absentee for Paris Saint-Germain. Luis Enrique will not be able to count on Nordi Mukiele this weekend, missing his team’s trip to Orléans this Saturday evening in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.

Mukiele’s absence is not linked to his desire to leave for Bayern Munich, at least not officially. In its medical press release, the capital club indicated that its defender had to undergo examinations following “a violent ball received in the face during the training session” on Thursday.

Many absent for PSG

Mukiele is far from being the only player to be missing from PSG, who will be without their African and Asian internationals, Achraf Hakimi and Lee Kang-In. We must add all the players who are injured or sick (Donnarumma, Letellier, Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes, Skriniar and Ugarte), and the two players on whom Luis Enrique does not count, Hugo Ekitike and Layvin Kurzawa. On the other hand, Arnaud Tenas returns after three weeks of absence.

The PSG group in Orléans: Navas, Tenas, Mouquet – Danilo, Beraldo, Hernandez, Marquinhos, Zague – Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Soler, Ndour, E.Mbappé, Mayulu – K.Mbappé, Dembélé, Ramos, Kolo Muani, Asensio, Barcola
