Paris-SG provides an update on the squad ahead of Lyon’s visit on Sunday in the 30th round of Ligue 1.
PSG is not at full strength, but almost. As expected, Nuno Mendes will miss the match against Lyon on Sunday (8:45 p.m.) in the 30th round of Ligue 1. The Portuguese full-back had to give way to Liverpool (0-2) on Tuesday night in the Champions League due to a “small discomfort in the right thigh. He will undergo treatment and work in the gym over the next two days,” the club announced on Wednesday. Mendes continues his gym work on Saturday. Therefore, he will be absent from the game against the Gones, currently fifth in the Ligue 1 standings and in search of a spot in the Champions League.
As for the rest, two good news starting with the return of Fabián Ruiz. Absent since January 20 with a knee injury, the Spanish midfielder “is fine, trained with the team this week, and participated in all training sessions,” as explained by Luis Enrique on Saturday. “He’s perfectly fine. If everything goes well, he will be on the list tomorrow (Sunday), and if possible, he will play his first minutes after his injury.”
Is Doué operational?
Substituted against Liverpool due to a “shock to the right knee,” Désiré Doué was supposed to “receive treatment (Thursday and Friday) before returning to collective training.” No bad surprises. The former Rennes player is on track, as he is not mentioned in the medical update either. He also aims to be included in the group for Sunday and this crucial match in the pursuit of the French title after Lens’s thrilling victory over Toulouse (3-2) on Friday, kicking off the 30th round of Ligue 1.
