The extension disputed last Friday against Lyon in the final of the Coupe de la Ligue (0-0 ap, 6-5 tab) has somewhat changed the plans of Thomas Tuchel. In view of this Wednesday's friendly match against Sochaux (7 p.m., BeIN Sports), the German coach of PSG leaves all his stars at rest, with the exception of Keylor Navas and Juan Bernat, the only executives present in the group summoned to the Princes Park.
Those absent are: Kylian Mbappé (injured in the right ankle), Marquinhos, Neymar, Di Maria, Thiago Silva, Icardi, Kehrer, Kimpembe, Kurzawa (injured in the thigh), Verratti, Innocent and Franchi (the fourth and fifth guards). No risk will therefore be taken with the executives, who mostly recover from this tough final of the Coupe de la Ligue.
But who is present? Juan Bernat, therefore. The left side, hampered by a calf for several weeks, should finally be able to test himself in a friendly match. An essential rhythm before considering a tenure in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, in a week against Atalanta Bergamo.
Flock of young people
The Spaniard is accompanied by Keylor Navas, Leandro Paredes, Idrissa Gueye, Ander Herrera or Pablo Sarabia. Among the regular members of the first team are also Sergio Rico, Marcin Bulka, Mitchel Bakker, Abdou Diallo, Colin Dagba and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. Finally, all these beautiful people will supervise a slew of young people from the training center.
In the disorder, Arnaud Kalimuendo, Loïc Mbe Soh, Timothée Pembélé, Kays Ruiz, Xaxi Simons, Kenny Nagera, Edouard Michut, Abdoulaye Kamara and El Chadaille Bitshiabu. The latter, a prodigy announced from the training center, made his first appearance. Just like Michut, another nugget, or Simons, recruited from Barça last summer.
