The infernal schedule that awaits PSG players from the match against Nice, this Saturday (9 p.m.), at the Parc des Princes, could have many consequences on the teams aligned by Christophe Galtier.
For this first of eleven meetings awaiting the Parisians until the World Cup, the coach could thus choose to blow two major elements of his attack, namely Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi. According to our information, which confirms that of RMC and L’Equipe, the Frenchman, who has just played two games with the Blues, could thus be left on the bench. This would give Hugo Ekitike a first tenure that he is looking forward to.
Before the match in Lyon, mid-September, Galtier had also explained about the former Rémois: “Hugo is a player with incredible potential. He arrived with a little muscle discomfort so we had to be very careful. He discovers what the very high level is. It took him a lot of sessions to find his bearings in the game. To also be in connection with the offensive animation. He is making great progress. He is very good at the sessions. Of course he has ants. It itches. I have already told him: the good times will come very quickly. He is also trying to perfect himself even more on a technical level. And very quickly, he will have a lot more playing time.
Lionel Messi, he returned from selection after matches in the United States. Between the trip and the jet lag, the Argentinian should also blow knowing that an important trip to the Champions League, in Lisbon, awaits Paris next Wednesday. To replace him, Galtier will have the choice between offering Carlos Soler a first tenure or aligning Pablo Sarabia.
For this match against Nice, Presnel Kimpembe and Marco Verratti are suspended but neither would have been available due to their respective injuries.
