One more, or almost, in training.
Unusually lively during this period of international truce, the Loges camp has found a little extra life on this sunny Monday afternoon.
After being invited to observe several days of rest, Moise Kean made his return to the PSG training center earlier this week.
Initially selected to participate in the 2022 World Cup qualifying matches alongside Marco Verratti and Alessandro Florenzi, the Paris striker was allowed to leave the Squadra Azzura rally last Wednesday due to his state of fatigue.
Rather than pulling on the rope by keeping him for the meetings against Northern Ireland, Bulgaria and Lithuania, the transalpine federation had released its striker to allow him to reach Paris.
But if he had returned to the capital, the Italian had been left to rest by PSG until Monday.
Tested positive for Covid-19 on March 3, the Transalpin had indeed missed four games before stringing together two high-intensity performances against Lille in the Coupe de France and Olympique Lyonnais in the league.

Five days before the return to competition against Lille, pre-truce injuries like Mauro Icardi (thigh), Thilo Kehrer (adductors) and Pablo Sarabia (hip) were present at the Loges camp to continue their fitness.
Invited to train with the first team last week to fill the absence of the internationals, young people like defender Tierno Baldé and striker Sekou Yansané have returned to their categories, with the U19 preparing for a friendly match against Lille Wednesday.
