Two days before the reception in Montpellier, this Saturday (5.30pm) at the Parc des Princes, the PSG is having problems in the defensive sector. Indeed, the injury of Colin Dagba (21) who must pass exams of the left knee this Thursday afternoon comes to add to other defections already identified.
It seems certain that the young lateral affected with the internal lateral ligament of the knee will be absent for several weeks. And he will not be the only Parisian to have to forfeit the reception of the Héraultais. "For Bernat (calf) it's too early," coach Thomas Tuchel said on Wednesday evening. Thiago Silva (pubis) and Marquinhos (right thigh) too. As for Diallo (cramps against Lille), we have to think. Finally for Kouassi, the match against Pau was physically demanding so for him too we have to wait because we only have two days of recovery before Montpellier. "
The Parisian coach was nevertheless delighted with Thilo Kehrer's “very good match” against the Palois. "It gives us possibilities," he added. The German defender could therefore continue in central defense alongside Presnel Kimpembe while Thomas Meunier and Layvin Kurzawa should be responsible for animating the sides against Montpellier. Either way, Tuchel really has no other choice unless Abdou Diallo is declared fit. Mitchel Bakker (19), who entered the 70th minute of play against Pau for his first official match with PSG, should once again sit on the bench.
