Two days before the Auxerre/PSG match, the absentees from both camps become clearer and the Parisian group should have several absentees. The AJA will also be reduced for this match on the 14th day of Ligue 1.
Held in check last Saturday by Nantes (1-1), PSG returns to competition and Ligue 1 this Friday evening with a trip to promoted Auxerre (9 p.m. on DAZN), which remains with a 2-0 defeat in Toulouse, but is having an honorable season for the moment with a good 8th place after 13 days.
The same absentees as against Nantes for Auxerre/PSG?
Resting on Monday, PSG returned to training on Tuesday afternoon and trained again this Wednesday morning. Injured in the right calf since the last international break, Senny Mayulu will still be too tight this Friday according to Le Parisien and his return to the group is hoped either next Tuesday against Salzburg in the Champions League, or against Lyon on December 15.
Victim of a viral syndrome last week, Lucas Hernandez had still not resumed the collective sessions on Tuesday and his return to the group against Auxerre this Friday therefore seems very unlikely, knowing that it has now been several weeks since he has been with the pro group. Called up against Bayern Munich, but not against Nantes afterwards, Presnel Kimpembe could also miss the trip to Auxerre. His name could well appear during the pre-match press conference given the echoes of the last few days.
Among the players who are physically fit but whose use will need to be monitored include Bradley Stagger and especially Ousmane Dembele'spresented as among the most critical of their coach Luis Enrique in recent days. Dembélé could also not be started in order to prepare for the trip to Salzburg where he will not be able to play due to suspension after his red card.
Finally, and as revealed by Benjamin Quarez, journalist from Le Parisien, the young Axel Tape and Mahamadou Sangaré trained with the pro group this Tuesday and Wednesday, but nothing says that they will be in the group to face Auxerre (Tape had been called up for PSG/Toulouse but not for PSG/Nantes). Note that Luis Enrique has no suspended players for this Auxerre/PSG.
A few also absent from Auxerre
On the AJA side, no suspensions to report for this big performance against PSG, but Christophe Pélissier will be deprived of defensive midfielder Nathan Buayi-Kiala and winger Lasso Coulibalyinjured and little or not used this season. Hit in the quadriceps, right back Ange-Loïc N'Gatta He is uncertain but he has never played this season.
On the other hand, AJA could have a real problem with the possible absence of central midfielder Rayan Ravelosonwho did not train on Tuesday and is uncertain for this Auxerre/PSG. Not summoned for two matches, Auxerre central defender Théo Pellenard could also miss the arrival of PSG but it is not really part of Christophe Pélissier's plans who therefore benefits from an overall very complete squad for this match.
