2021-03-09T11:40:28.913Z


Beyond Neymar's package, the PSG replacement goalkeeper did not participate in training on Tuesday but he should be present this


In addition to Neymar, who has not quite recovered from his groin injury and is therefore forfeited for the reception of Barcelona this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes, Moise Kean and Juan Bernat are not available for this Wednesday's match.

No surprise: the Spanish defender is not even registered on the list of Parisian players participating in the event.

He is continuing his rehabilitation after his knee injury.

As for the Italian striker, he continues to be in isolation.

He was declared positive for Covid-19 on March 3, the day of Bordeaux - PSG (0-1).

The protocol stipulates ten days apart.

He could return for the reception this Sunday from Nantes in L 1.

The only annoyance came this Tuesday from the substitute goalkeeper, Sergio Rico.

He "does not participate in training this morning for personal reasons", communicated the PSG shortly before the morning session.

For the rest, 22 field players participated in the training.

All the stars are present from Kylian Mbappé to Angel Di Maria via Marquinhos or Marco Verratti.

A doubt between Florenzi and Kehrer

Mauricio Pochettino's starting lineup, who speaks at a press conference this Tuesday at midday, should come as no surprise.

However, there is one last doubt in the position of right-back between Alessandro Florenzi and Thilo Kehrer.

The two participated normally in the collective session on Tuesday, having been affected recently.

The Italian, usual holder, victim of a small injury to the adductors, missed the matches in Dijon, Bordeaux and Brest, in the league as in the Coupe de France.

The German, he was taken out as a precaution in Brittany after an alert to the adductors also.

The Argentine coach will have to decide between the two men, between an element lacking rhythm (Florenzi) and another lacking benchmarks with his team regardless of his place on the field.
