Already handicapped by the absence of many of its players, especially in an orphan midfield of Verratti and Paredes, the formation of Thomas Tuchel will also have to do without the services of Idrissa Gueye for several weeks.
Tuesday evening, after the setback (1-2) conceded against Manchester United at the opening of the new Champions League campaign, the German coach explained the reasons which led him to replace the Senegalese midfielder with Moise Kean at the break.

According to information from RMC, which we are able to confirm, Gana Gueye is indeed suffering from a tear in the hamstrings which should keep him away from the pitch for several weeks.
Hit to an ankle in Nice on September 20, the Parisian midfielder had to give up the trip to Reims in Ligue 1 before making his return to the workforce.
Already used seven times in the eight games played by PSG since the resumption, Gueye should this time observe a much longer period of convalescence.
