PSG: Ander Herrera forfeits against Dortmund, Thiago Silva passes exams

The Spanish midfielder PSG will be absent for the return match against Dortmund, March 11, as it was feared since his thigh injury this Sunday during training morning match. Ander Herrera had an MRI in the afternoon, which confirmed a quadriceps lesion in the right thigh.

If the club has not yet communicated a period of unavailability, a close source confirms a package of at least several weeks and, in any event, a package for the return match against Dortmund. This absence is added in this sector of play to that of Marco Verratti, suspended for the meeting, and complicates the equation of the midfielder.

This could increase depending on the state of health of Thiago Silva, released at the end of the first quarter of an hour of play, Sunday against Bordeaux (4-3). The captain of PSG is affected in the right thigh and should know more this Monday about the nature and the exact gravity of his injury, also passing exams. Thomas Tuchel spoke of a "not too serious" injury after the match, while saying "a little worried". The player's wife published more reassuring news in the evening: "Thank God, nothing serious". The medical verdict is crucial for Thomas Tuchel and for PSG, as it will notably influence the positioning of Marquinhos.

This Monday morning, the Parisians met at the training center for a scrub, as after each meeting. They will be at rest this Tuesday, before resuming Wednesday to prepare for the meeting against Dijon, Saturday (5.30 p.m.).
