After his incredible qualification at the end of the suspense, Wednesday August 12, against Atalanta Bergamo (2-1), PSG is now looking towards its Champions League semi-final on Tuesday against the winner of the Leipzig-Atlético match from Madrid this Thursday. But the French champions do not yet know whether they will be able to count on their goalkeeper, Keylor Navas.
Hero of the start of the match, where his parades in front of Gomez and Hateboer allowed Paris to stay in the game, the Costa Rican was injured in the 71st minute. A pain in the right thigh that forced him to leave the lawn in the 79th minute to make way for his liner, Sergio Rico.
The exact nature of the injury to be determined
The question is whether the triple winner of the Champions League with Real Madrid will be able to hold his place at the Luz stadium for this first Parisian C1 semi-final for 25 years.
Wednesday evening, after the meeting, Thomas Tuchel did not yet know what harm his goalkeeper was suffering from. The coach is expected to know more on Thursday. Navas has to take exams during the day to find out the exact nature of his injury. A small contracture can go away in six days. But if the evil runs deeper, his participation in the semi-final would be very compromised. It would be a big blow for PSG.
