This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain (15th) faces Arsenal (16th) at the Emirates Stadium on behalf of the 2nd day of the 2024-2025 Champions League (kick-off at 9 p.m., broadcast on Canal+Foot). 2 days before the match, The team gave an update on the group with the hope of good news even if 4 players will certainly be missing.
Very little hope Gifted.
« Returning to training on Thursday, Donnarumma has since completed all the sessions and does not appear in the training. Against Rennes, Donnarumma was rested as a precaution.
On Saturday, the decision on his presence in the group against Arsenal had not yet been made. It has been restored but a slight uncertainty remained over its ability to be 100% operational. With four more days, however, the trend was favorable. Unless there was an alert or relapse between now and then, the tendency was even to see it begin.
Vitinha, Asensio and Mendes, it’s possible.
For the rest, in addition to the usual unavailability (Gonçalo Ramos, Lucas Hernandez, Kimpembe), Désiré Doué (sprained ankle) should still be absent. For Vitinha, Marco Asensio (recovery) and Nuno Mendes (virus), it will depend on how they feel over the next forty-eight hours. »
Donnarumma having been able to train for several days, there is good reason to think that he will be ready against Arsenal. Maybe not by being 100%, although it is possible. There was certainly especially caution against Rennes, as often on the part of coach Luis Enrique and his staff.
A sprain has been declared for Doué, which leaves uncertainty over his return date because the severity can vary greatly. But it is very difficult to think that he will be ready for such a match. Vitinha, Asensio and Mendes had less serious problems. It was even just a “ syndrome viral » for the last one. If he is no longer sick, he will logically be able to play.
Today’s and Monday’s training will give some indications, let’s wait for certainty.
