Luis Enrique has called up 21 players for PSG’s trip to Monaco (kick-off this Wednesday at 9 p.m.). Clear through his actions, the Asturian once again did without Randal Kolo Muani and Presnel Kimpembe. Milan Skriniar makes his return while Nuno Mendes is out.
It is clearer than ever that Luis Enrique is counting on neither Randal Kolo Muani nor Presnel Kimpembe. Physically fit, the two players were not selected by the Asturian for the match in Monaco, which therefore remains a rather recent situation for the striker pushed towards the exit, already in the stands at the Parc on Sunday against the OL (3-1) but a little less for the 2018 world champion, who has not returned to the group since the trip to Munich on November 26 in the Champions League, and has still not played in a match again official since more than a year and a half and his very long Achilles tendon injury.
Skriniar returns, Nuno Mendes withdraws
“I could explain it, but I don’t. The decisions say everything very clearly. And absolutely all situations are reversible, even for a player who makes a mistake,” Luis Enrique assured Tuesday regarding the release. The combined gap between Randal Kolo Muani and Milan Skriniar against OL. The French international striker, moreover, is being courted by AS Monaco which, through the voice of its coach Adi Hütter, has opened the door to a possible move while Folarin Balogun will miss four months of competition following an injury to his the shoulder. “Kolo Muani? That would be good! But we have to be honest… There are a lot of strikers in Europe who could help us. I know Kolo Muani from his time at Frankfurt, he scored a lot of goals there, they were very good. It could be a profile. But there are a lot of things that come into play. And without a doubt, he is not one of the cheapest! season”.
The Slovenian central defender, on whom the capital club no longer counts, has at least rejoined the group during the trip to Monaco. Hit in the thigh against OL, Nuno Mendes was not selected, obviously as a precaution at the end of the year 2024.
