Two days before the match, it is already possible to take a first look at the probable absentees from Nice/PSG, the match of the 7th day of Ligue 1 which will be played this Sunday evening at the Allianz Riviera (8:45 p.m.). PSG will normally have few absentees and a major return is expected, that of Ousmane Dembélé.
Five days after its 2-0 defeat against Arsenal in the Champions League, PSG will challenge Nice this Sunday evening at the Allianz Riviera at the end of the 7th day of Ligue 1 (8:45 p.m. on DAZN). As for the absentees, Paris had already recovered numerous players for the European trip (Donnarumma, Mendes, Doué, Asensio and Vitinha) and, compared to the match lost against the Gunners, Luis Enrique should recover Ousmane Dembele’s.
Dembélé back for Nice/PSG?
The latter had been sanctioned by his coach for failing to fulfill the team’s obligations according to the Spaniard, but has since apologized and was reinstated in the group this Friday after missing Thursday’s training due to angina. . Barring any surprises, he will be present in the group in Nice, even if the fact that he only has two training sessions in his legs before the match calls for caution. At the height of the quarrel, the Parisian coach had in any case made it clear that he did not intend to prolong the sanction.
For this Nice/PSG, Luis Enrique will in any case not have any suspended players and has no new known injuries since Tuesday evening, even if he remained in treatment for a few days on Thursday, two days after the match against the English. In the images of Friday’s training, no player seemed absent in any case while some, including Lee Kang-in, did not appear on those from the previous day’s session.
Facing the Aiglons, PSG on the other hand deprived of its long-term injured Lucas HernandezGonçalo Ramos and Presnel Kimpembe. The latter no longer seems to be training with the group unlike last week, which could well be a sign of bad news concerning him.
Several important absentees from Nice
If PSG is therefore rather spared before its trip to the Côte d’Azur, this is not really the case for Nice, which has just lost 4-1 this Thursday on the lawn of Lazio Rome in the Europa League. Franck Haise’s men, who have had an average start to the season in Ligue 1 (9th after 6 days) despite their recent 8-0 defeat against ASSE, have several important players injured and are unlikely to recover any in the short term.
Terem attackers Moffi (cruciated ligaments) and Gaëtan Laborde (fracture of a foot) or the midfielder Morgan Sanson (sprained ankle) will thus be absent for the visit of PSG, just like the left side Melvin Bardvictim of a knee sprain last week in the Europa League against Real Sociedad. Very handicapping absences for the Gym since they are potential starters.
Absent last weekend against Lens (0-0), central midfielder Tanguy Ndombele and winger Mohamed-Ali Give both came on Thursday evening in Nice’s defeat against Lazio Rome. Both should logically be in the game against PSG this Sunday.
