The PSG players had an appointment at the Parc des Princes this Thursday morning, the day after the qualification for the final of the League Cup obtained in Reims (0-3). A morning session which had prompted a large part of the players to charter vans faster and more comfortable at night than the coach with which they had traveled to Champagne.
The training move to the Park was decided due to marketing activities that the players carried out in the Porte d'Auteuil stadium in the afternoon. It is in the locker room that Neymar and Kylian Mbappé notably posed alongside the Charlotte Hornets basketball players to present the club's new jersey.
Marquinhos was present for this marketing component, but the Brazilian defender had to settle for care. While Thomas Tuchel mentioned in a press conference a "hamstring" injury, it was the right adductor that the central defender complained of when leaving the Auguste-Delaune stadium. The same area as where he had felt discomfort enough to miss the meetings in Monaco and Lorient last week.
Cavani returns to training
The vice-captain of PSG had to pass an MRI in the afternoon, about which the club did not communicate any information. The “Marqui” package in Lille on Sunday (9 p.m.) is already almost acquired. With less than four weeks to go to Dortmund, the precise assessment of its downtime is a key issue for PSG.
On the lawn of the Park, the holders facing Reims were content with a light scrub and care. The rest of the group performed technical exercises and oppositions on reduced terrain. Edinson Cavani, who has not participated in the last meetings due to discomfort in the pubis according to the club, was very present. Thilo Kehrer who treats a crack in a toe was able to work alone on the lawn of the Park. Friday, a new session is scheduled at the Camp des Loges.
