Seven weeks since it hadn't happened.
For the first time since early October, the PSG infirmary did not have to accommodate an additional resident on Friday after the match played at the Louis-II stadium in Monaco.
Failing to spare him from a third loss in the league (3-2), the trip to the Rock will at least have had the merit of not complicating Thomas Tuchel's puzzle a little more before the European "final" who awaits him and his team on Tuesday evening against Leipzig at the Parc des Princes.
Two days before the crucial meeting of this 4th day of the Champions League, the Sunday training session did not remove all doubts as to the condition of the already orphaned troops of Bernat (knee), Kehrer (pubalgie ), Gueye (femoral biceps), Draxler (thigh) and Kimpembe (suspended).
Icardi no longer appeared since early October
Certainly, Mauro Icardi, Ander Herrera and Marco Verratti were all present at the Loges camp this Sunday noon.
But only the Argentinian striker, recovered from his injury to the internal lateral ligament of the right knee, participated in the collective session and appeared fit to appear on the scoresheet on Tuesday.
The former Inter Milan striker has not worn the Parisian jersey since October 2.
Touched a calf Thursday in training and forced to put aside the trip to the Principality, Ander Herrera was again spared this Sunday.
His participation in Tuesday's shock is uncertain.
Like that of Marco Verratti who also spent his Sunday away from the group.
