On the eve of Lens/PSG, in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France, those absent from both camps are becoming clearer and will be more numerous on the Lens side than in Paris.
Resting on Thursday after their victory the day before in Monaco, the PSG players trained this Friday morning at the PSG Campus, two days before their trip to Lens as part of the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France (9 p.m.). In the photos of today's training shared by PSG, we can see Nuno Mendeswho had to withdraw from Monaco after being hit in the right thigh against Lyon three days earlier.
Donnarumma package in Lens, Mendes back?
The Portuguese left-back could therefore make his return to the group with a view to the trip to Lens, which Gianluigi will not do. Donnarummaforfeited following his facial trauma following Wilfried Singo's sole in Monaco. From the round of 32 of the Coupe de France, clubs can include 20 players on the match sheet, as in Ligue 1.
In the absence of Donnarumma, Matvey Safonov and Arnau Tenas will be on the scoresheet against Lens and Luis Enrique will have to add 18 outfield players to complete it. If Nuno Mendes returns to the group, Milan Skriniar could come out. Randal First Class and Presnel Kimpembe should once again be out of the group, although we will have to wait to see which players could be rested for this match. Pacho is a serious candidate on this point and L'Equipe makes Hakimi another player probably left out for Lens/PSG which will be the last match of 2024.
Lens deprived of its captain Brice Samba against PSG
On the Lensois side, there is a massacre before hosting PSG on Sunday. The striker Rémy Labeau Lascary suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last week against Auxerre and was operated on this Friday. His season is over. But Will Still especially announced this Friday the package of his goalkeeper and captain Brice Samba against PSG, the French international suffering from a back and ankle.
Against PSG, Lens will also be deprived of its long-term injured Wesley SaidRuben Aguilar and Martin Satriano. Injured for more than two years, the Lensois right piston Jimmy Cabot announced to him this week the end of his career, tired of not being able to regain his level. Lens and Bollaert will pay tribute to him on Sunday and Jimmy Cabot will give the fictional kick-off against PSG.
Forfeited against Auxerre last week and ill in recent days, Lensois central defender Jonathan Gradit trained this Friday and will be back in the Lensois group on Sunday. Also suffering in recent days, Will Still did not lead today's training, but appeared in front of the press and let it be known that he was feeling better two days before Lens/PSG.
