PSG will have to prepare for the idea of playing their Champions League semi-final without Keylor Navas. The Costa Rican goalkeeper, injured in the hamstring of the right thigh against Atalanta Bergamo on a clearance, has embarked on a race against the clock with the hope of playing next Tuesday in Lisbon at the Luz stadium.
The three-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid has started a treatment protocol and carried out examinations in the Portuguese capital. They revealed a lesion of the biceps femoris. New exams will be carried out on Saturday.
However, it is difficult to imagine him capable of playing a high-level match in five days. In case of withdrawal, Sergio Rico would be aligned. The Spaniard, who has only started eight games this season, has already played and won a Europa League final with Sevilla in 2015.
Verratti also absent
Marco Verratti is also not expected to be available next Tuesday. The Italian midfielder is continuing his recovery program in Lisbon and in the swimming pool after his calf injury. A new evaluation will be carried out by the medical staff on Saturday.
The club's doctors, on the other hand, are much more optimistic for Thiago Silva. The Parisian captain suffers from a contracture of the right hamstrings but the clinical examination and the MRI are reassuring. He should be able to hold his place in the semi-finals.
Layvin Kurzawa is still caring for him.
