Champions League: PSG without Ugarte against Dortmund?

«

We have a doubt about a player and his physical condition, "said Luis Enrique on RMC, on the eve of PSG-Dortmund on the first day of the group stage of the Champions League. "For the rest, I know who will play," added the Spanish technician, while the medical point of the club of the capital was very reassuring. Only Marco Asensio and the long-time absentees Nuno Mendes and Presnel Kimpembe were mentioned, not Nordi Mukiele or Fabian Ruiz, absent last Friday against Nice (2-3), nor Kylian Mbappé, returned touched to the knee of the France team but who played against the Aiglons, with a double to the key.

It remains to be seen who this uncertain player is. Still according to RMC Sport, it is Manuel Ugarte, who would have been touched in training on Monday. No more details about the injury of the 22-year-old Uruguayan international, recruited this summer at Sporting for € 60 million and who is already indispensable in the midfield. We saw it on Friday, when Luis Enrique left him on the bench at kick-off knowing that the interested party had returned late from the gathering with Celeste, like Marquinhos with Brazil elsewhere. Unlike his Brazilian captain, however, Ugarte came on in the second half. "He was a big revelation for a lot of fans but he was already playing very well at Sporting. He's a big recruit, Luis Campos has worked very well. He is a young player with a strong character. He is important because he brings balance to the team, "analyzed Luis Enrique in a press conference, earlier on Monday, at the PSG Campus of Poissy.

Danilo as a sentinel?

To see who would be in charge of compensating for a forfeit of Ugarte Tuesday against BVB. On Friday, it was Warren Zaire-Emery who had switched to a sentinel role, with Vitihna and Carlos Soler still higher. However, the experiment should not be repeated... RMC imagines rather Danilo Pereira, holder in central hinge against the Nice, in case Manuel Ugarte should declare forfeit. For the rest, there is no major upheaval to expect, with undoubtedly the return of Marquinhos in the starting 11. It remains to be seen whether Randal Kolo Muani or Gonçalo Ramos will be in charge of accompanying Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé on the front of the attack.
