“Wednesday, December 7.
11 a.m.: training behind closed doors.
If this information had concerned the PSG players still present in Doha, it would have meant a session under 28 degrees.
The reality will be quite different for those to whom it is addressed, here in France, namely the Parisians not concerned by the World Cup.
This Wednesday, it will indeed be 3 degrees near Saint-Germain-en-Laye when the Donnarumma, Verratti, Ramos, Ruiz, Bernat, Sanches, Mukiele or Ekitike, will meet for the first time since November 13 and the last match against Auxerre (5-0).
A few young people - Bitshiabu, Zaire-Emery, Gharbi, Kari - will accompany them on this day of recovery.

Back from Doha, where he will have attended the start of the World Cup, Christophe Galtier will be at the rendezvous of this rather special return to school.
Unlike the majority of Ligue 1 clubs, PSG delayed their return to the field as much as possible.
Two days of rest were even added at the start of the week.
In Qatar, until Tuesday evening, only Keylor Navas, eliminated, and Nuno Mendes, injured, had finished with their globalist adventure.
While preparing training sessions for the others, the Parisian coach therefore constantly keeps an eye on the news of his internationals still in contention in Qatar, including Mbappé, Messi and Neymar.
“I am happy for them, proud to be their coach, but worried about the sequence of matches and potential injuries,” he said on Tuesday in Télématin.

Before the truce, Galtier had planned a break "of at least ten days" for the eliminated Globalists.
“Because a season which will have started on July 4 and which will end, I hope for us, on June 10, a break is needed but it should not be a handicap to collective performance”, had- He underlines.
Presnel Kimpembe will not yet be present at Camp des Loges.
The defender, after his package with the Blues just before leaving for the World Cup, takes advantage of his stay in Doha to attend the matches of the French but also to treat himself at the Aspetar center, as he had already done in September for his problem with thigh.

Victim of a left adductor injury against Juventus Turin, Fabian Ruiz had, according to Goal, already returned last week to the training center to follow an individualized program.
Two friendly matches have been scheduled during this long preparation: against Paris FC (Ligue 2) on December 16 and against Quevilly-Rouen (Ligue 2) on December 21. The goal will obviously be to be ready for the resumption of championship and the match against Strasbourg, at the Parc, on December 28, thirty-nine days after the last official match.
"I hope that the World Cup will be able to travel to the Park and that players will bring us this magnificent trophy", had then hoped Galtier.
For now, nothing stands in the way of this dream.
