PSG has just broadcast its traditional match eve medical update and there will be at least one player absent for Auxerre/PSG, Senny Mayulu. Lucas Hernandez and Presnel Kimpembe are very uncertain.
PSG travel to Auxerre this Friday evening (9 p.m.) as part of the 14th day of Ligue 1, less than a week after their frustrating 1-1 draw against Nantes and Paris hopes to return to victory at a promoted side that remains on a 2-0 defeat against Toulouse, but is in a good 8th place. For this Auxerre/PSG, Luis Enrique will be deprived of at least one player as the medical update broadcast this Thursday has just confirmed:
– After following treatment for gastrointestinal disorders, Lucas Hernandez resumes training with the collective.
– Victim of a muscle injury to the right calf, Senny Mayulu carries out individualized work in the field.
Senny's absence Mayulu was expected and his return is hoped for next week. The return of Lucas Hernandez in collective training is good news, but there is little chance that the French world champion will make his comeback in the group against Auxerre. In addition to the viral syndrome which has bothered him for several days, Lucas Hernandez is recovering from a serious cruciate ligament injury and it is hard to imagine Luis Enrique summoning him tomorrow with only one recent collective session in his legs.
Kimpembe back in the group for Auxerre/PSG?
Present in the group against Bayern Munich last week, but not included on the match sheet even though there was room to appear, Presnel Kimpembe was not immediately summoned to face Nantes in Ligue 1, which surprised and greatly disappointed the player, as L'Equipe did not fail to relay on Sunday.
Luis Enrique, who played the appeasement card with his group this week according to RMC Sport, will he have appreciated the various press reports concerning Kimpembe annoyed with him for still not having had the chance to play again? The question will probably be asked at a press conference from 1 p.m., but on the eve of the match, it is difficult to guarantee that Kimpembe will be in the group against Auxerre.
