Summary clip of the day in sport, 12.9 (Sport1)
Seven games in 28 days are waiting for PSG until the national team break - and the heavy load may affect the way it treats the game against Maccabi Haifa.
The French champions will indeed arrive at the intriguing meeting on Wednesday after four consecutive victories with a total goal ratio of 1:9, with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in excellent personal form, but in the game against Brest the players began to show signs of fatigue, and coach Christophe Galtier may react.
According to reports in France, Galtier fears an injury to one of the stars in the demanding month that awaits them and considered bringing one of them off the bench in the game in Israel, but ultimately plans to start with them anyway.
At the same time, PSG's game plan will be to get a quick decision in Haifa, to at least give Mbappe, who is coming back from injury, some rest.
Is fatigue starting to take its toll?

Galtier used a minor rotation in the game against Brest, so it is estimated that his lineup in Israel will include some changes.
One forced change will be in defense, following the injury to Presnel Kimpamba.
Danilo Pereira is expected to take Kimpamba's place in the 11 and start in a formation of three brakes alongside Marquinhos and Sergio Ramos.
Nuno Mendes is expected to start at left back at the expense of Juan Brent.
The one who should be included in the second half is the newcomer Carlos Soler who is planned to replace Messi in the second half, as well as Fabian Ruiz who may rest Marco Verratti at some point.

The one expected to start at right back is Ashraf Hakimi, who is already preparing for a "special" welcome from the Israeli crowd.
The Moroccan national team player was booed in his two previous visits to Israel with PSG in the French Super Cup, following the support he expressed for the Palestinians during the "Guardian of the Walls" operation.
Before the game on Wednesday, he said: "It doesn't affect me, not at all. I will be with the team in Israel and concentrate on the game. The scorn is not a problem for me."
