Deprived of many elements during the victory at Angers (3-0), PSG is sure to recover Neymar – who has served his suspension match – for the reception of Lens on Saturday evening at the Parc des Princes (9:00 p.m.).
Good news when you know that Paris did not show an overflowing imagination in attack at the Raymond-Kopa stadium.
The MNM could also be reconstituted for this title match (the capital club lacks a point to be crowned champion of France).
Stayed in Paris because of an inflammation of the left Achilles tendon, Leo Messi should make his return to competition this weekend.
We will still have to consolidate this diagnosis, but the trend was rather favorable on Thursday, two days before the meeting.
On the other hand, it is advisable to be more careful with Marco Verratti and Presnel Kimpembe, respectively victim of a contusion and an effusion of the left knee for the Italian, and of a pain in the right knee for the French.
We'll have to see how their injuries evolve this Friday, but their return to competition is far from over.
Ander Herrera, affected in recent weeks in the hamstrings, resumed training on Thursday but his presence in the group or even on the ground seems premature.
Ditto for Mauro Icardi who will be forfeited after feeling pain in his hamstrings during a warm-up shot before the match against Angers.
Édouard Michut is suspended after his red card in added time against Angers.
Finally, several long-time absentees are to be deplored on the Parisian side.
These are Draxler and Paredes recently operated, and Abdou Diallo (right knee) who continues his recovery work on the sidelines of the group.
