For the anniversary celebration of his 30 years, the Virage Auteuil will not be able to applaud, this Saturday on the sidelines of PSG - Nantes (5 p.m.), some of the players he likes to applaud at the end of the meetings.
Captain Marquinhos and the Parisian titi Presnel Kimpembe were, in fact, not selected in the group.
The same goes for Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma or Layvin Kurzawa.
These five had an appointment this Saturday at the Loges camp for a training session which should allow them to be, especially for the first four, available for the Champions League trip next Wednesday against Manchester City.

Marquinhos has to digest the two games he played with Brazil during the international break.
Kimpembe is recovering from his hamstring injury.
Ramos finally feels ready to start the competition.
"He is training well, the progress is good," Mauricio Pochettino said on Friday.
He has trained with the squad three times this season.
We will analyze to find out if he can be in the group.
»Donnarumma will gradually resume after gastroenteritis.
Kurzawa, on the other hand, is no longer really in Pochettino's plans.
The Parisian group for the reception of @FCNantes!

Conversely, Neymar, Lionel Messi and Marco Verratti are present in the group, which does not necessarily guarantee their tenure. Neymar had indeed been exempted from the match against Argentina this week due to groin discomfort. Messi, who left for the national team after withdrawing from the matches in Leipzig and Bordeaux due to muscle discomfort and pain in his left knee, remains on fifteen minutes against Uruguay and an entire match against Brazil ( 0-0). Finally, Verratti, recovered from his hip injury suffered during the clasico, is especially hoped for against City.
For the rest, the club's medical statement indicates that Rafinha "continues to take care of the right hip and has resumed racing", that Draxler "continues to take care of his return to competition scheduled for between 4 and 5 weeks" and that Letellier " will be absent 10 days for a muscle problem in the quadriceps ”.
