Paris should not travel light and that is rather good news. Four days before the trip to Arsenal for the second day of the Champions League, it was with a “light” group, both in quantity and experience, that Luis Enrique chose to face Stade Rennais on Friday evening. With seventeen players, four titis and a sideline with an average age of just over 21, the capital club certainly managed to win (3-1) against the Bretons.
But he should leave a little more armed for London on Monday for the match scheduled for the following evening at the Emirates. Once again spared on Friday evening, Gianluigi Donnarumma no longer feels the discomfort in his thigh contracted against Girona. The goalkeeper who returned to training during the week is fit to travel to England. Hit in an ankle and also absent for the 6th day of Ligue 1, the Portuguese Vitinha also does not inspire much concern about his return to the group.
Asensio and Mendes on hold
This could also see the return of other elements who have passed through the infirmary since Marco Asensio, who was injured during the match against Girona, is also in the return phase. This could also be the case for Nuno Mendes, if he is postponed this Sunday morning for the last training session at the Campus due to the viral syndrome which deprived him of the match against Rennes.
The only certainty is that all the reinforcements will be good to have for Luis Enrique and Paris when it comes time to challenge the Gunners who, after having a few scares against Leicester, ended up snatching the victory (4-2) by scoring two lucky goals in added time.
