While an important match is looming against Lens, Saturday evening at the Parc des Princes (9 p.m.), Christophe Galtier is not yet sure he can count on the return of Marco Verratti. The Italian midfielder, victim of a muscular injury to the right hamstrings, is just showing positive signs. This Thursday, he took part in some exercises on the ground, without participating in the whole of the collective session, leaving some doubt before the reception of the Blood and Gold. Juan Bernat, who had also missed the trip to Nice due to a contusion of the right ankle, took him back with his partners.
It is therefore with a rather large but still incomplete squad that PSG trained in the morning. To the long-term absences of Neymar, Presnel Kimpembe, Nordi Mukiele (season ended) and Renato Sanches (3-4 weeks), was added that of Timothée Pembélé. The young defender remained working indoors as a precaution. The capital club should give more details on the forces present, this Friday, after a new session and the coach’s press conference scheduled for 1 p.m.
