The end of the international break coincides with the return of many senior players to PSG. As expected, Kylian Mbappé returned to Camp des Loges on Wednesday after playing Les Bleus’ last two games against Austria and Denmark. He will soon be joined by Lionel Messi. Author of a double against Jamaica (3-0) last night, the sevenfold Ballon d’Or returned to Paris on Wednesday afternoon. He will resume training Thursday morning with the team.
The “Pulga” will be imitated by Neymar and Marquinhos. The Brazilians enjoyed a day off after their resounding victory at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night against Tunisia (5-1). The Seleção playmaker scored from a penalty. The program promises to be similar for the other internationals Nuno Mendes, Danilo Pereira, Pablo Sarabia or Carlos Soler all on deck on Tuesday evening. They too will resume training on Thursday morning. As for Renato Sanches, absent for more than two weeks due to an adductor injury, he has resumed in an adapted way, on the ground, in recent days.
Sanches and Verratti should be there for Benfica
The latest news from Marco Verratti is also good. Suspended for the reception of Nice this Saturday, at 9 p.m., he suffered a contusion with a deep hematoma of the left calf during the match in Lyon. He is recovering well and should partially resume training in the coming days. Optimism is high about his appearance against Benfica in the Champions League on October 5.
Finally, to complete his squad, coach Christophe Galtier brought young Vimoj Muntu Wa Mungu, Nehemiah Fernandez-Veliz and Hugo Lamy into training this week. They were still present this Wednesday morning. In addition, Presnel Kimpembe is still in Doha (Qatar), where he is taking advantage of the facilities of the Aspire academy to recover from his hamstring injury. The Frenchman hopes to return to competition the week of October 25.
