Little headache for Jocelyn Prêcheur.
The coach of the PSG women's team is preparing the reception at Le Havre this Saturday (2:30 p.m., Dailymotion) with many players absent or marked by the international break, notably concluded by the defeat of the French team in the League final nations in Spain (2-0).
The main bad news concerns Élisa de Almeida, who returned injured and forfeited for this 16th day of D1 Arkema.
The objective will be to find her on March 10 for the Coupe de France semi-final against Paris FC.
As spring approaches, the calendar speeds up.
From March 20, PSG will also return to the Champions League with a quarter-final first leg in Häcken (Sweden).
And Jocelyn Prêcheur certainly does not want to approach this period with a surplus of injured people.
In the French team, Sakina Karchaoui, Grace Geyoro and Marie-Antoinette Katoto, starters against Germany (2-1) and in Spain, returned very tired.
The Dutch Jackie Groenen and Lieke Martens also, after two defeats and a missed Olympic qualification.

It's a safe bet that a good number of these players will be rested against Le Havre.
Just like Clare Hunt, qualified for the Olympics with Australia but returned this Friday from a very long trip after two confrontations against Uzbekistan, in Tashkent then Melbourne... Finally, the American Korbin Albert in the middle is still mobilized by the Gold Cup.
Qualified for the quarter-finals, the United States faces Colombia on Sunday.
The Parisian staff must also monitor the physical condition of Ramona Bachmann, who started twice with Switzerland.
A rejuvenated squad is expected to bag a 12th league victory this season.
Tabitha Chawinga, top scorer (11 goals) in D1, will be there alongside Danish Amalie Vangsgaard.
Just like the young Jade Le Guilly, Thiniba Samoura or Laurina Fazer.
