The international break is coming to an end and marks the return of the internationals to Camp des Loges. After Neymar, who returned at the start of the week, most of the players involved with their selection returned to the training center on Thursday. Only Keylor Navas, who played last night with Costa Rica against the United States (2-0), as part of the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, had not yet returned to the capital. He is expected in the next few hours and will pass through the hands of the medical profession to assess his knee glitch which forced him to go out against the Americans before the end of the meeting.
Kylian Mbappé and Presnel Kimpembe were already present at the Ooredoo center on Wednesday for treatment. They took to the pitch on Thursday, with the rest of their partners, like the Argentinians Lionel Messi, Leandro Paredes and Angel Di Maria, who replayed with Albiceleste during the break, after having had to miss several matches with PSG due to a hamstring injury to his right thigh contracted against Real Madrid on March 9.
Diallo and Verratti absent against Lorient?
The other internationals (Marquinhos, Danilo, Kehrer, Donnarumma, Hakimi, Gueye…) have all returned to Camp des Loges as well. In fact, Pochettino has reduced the strong contingent of young players present during the sessions since last week. Ismaël Gharbi, Édouard Michut and El Chadaille Bitshiabu were still there, as was Xavi Simons.
Elsewhere, Abdou Diallo suffered adductor pain with Senegal, which forced him to skip the second game against Egypt this week. “Nothing serious”, blows his entourage even if he could miss the reception of Lorient, this Sunday (8:45 p.m.), at the end of the 30th day of Ligue 1.
Exempted from the second match with Italy after the disappointment against North Macedonia (1-0), Marco Verratti could also be absent for physical reasons against the Hakes. Sergio Ramos has been training normally for several days and could, for his part, consider joining the group.
