PSG: Verratti very uncertain, Mbappé at best on the bench against Atalanta?

Bad news continues to fall for PSG, with a view to the Champions League. Marco Verratti absent against Atalanta on August 12? The Italian international midfielder suffered a shock in training on Tuesday. He is not in the group this Wednesday in a friendly against Sochaux, the last test run before the Champions League, but according to RMC , he could especially miss this quarter-final in Lisbon.

Marco Verratti absent against Atalanta on August 12? The Italian international midfielder suffered a shock in training on Tuesday. He is not in the group this Wednesday in a friendly against Sochaux, the last test run before the Champions League, but according to RMC , he could especially miss this quarter-final in Lisbon. We speak of a "calf injury". It would be “almost forfeit” for Atalanta! It would obviously be a huge blow for PSG, especially since we imagine that Thomas Tuchel should opt for a three-way midfielder against Bergamo. Scheme that suits the Italian international perfectly, which we saw brilliant last Friday in the final of the Coupe de la Ligue against OL (0-0 ap, 6-5 tab).

Info @RMCsport: Marco #Verratti almost withdrawn for the match against # Atalanta. The player was injured yesterday in training during a collision with another player. The Italian had tests today which revealed a calf injury.

Note that on the side of beIN Sports , which broadcasts this counter against the Lion Cubs of Florentin Pogba, in a Parc des Princes behind closed doors, we are more careful, affirming that the "Little Owl" is still one of the players called to pass the tests before the big departure for Portugal. Thomas Tuchel will certainly give news of his player at the end of today's meeting, in a press conference.

There is hope for Mbappé, but ...

Which Thomas Tuchel spoke on beIN before the meeting, evoking the various glitches in his workforce. And in particular the injury of Kylian Mbappé, injured in the ankle in the final of the Coupe de France (1-0). "If he can play against Atalanta?" No idea, he slips. He's at the training center every day, he works hard, he works a lot. But the deadline is short… We will talk together on Saturday. We will see what phase we can enter, and if it is possible that he is on the bench against Atalanta, but I do not wait too long… ”Note that the 21-year-old world champion appeared smiling on the bench with his teammates this Wednesday, against Sochaux. We remember that Ander Herrera expressed his "optimism" last Friday.
