Even if nothing has been decided yet, the presence of Marquinhos, Keylor Navas and Ander Herrera for the trip to Sunday in Lorient (3 p.m.) seems more and more hypothetical. Thursday, for the fourth consecutive day, the central defender and the titular goalkeeper did not participate in collective training with the rest of the group.
The first still suffers from a small injury to the right adductor contracted in the second half against Montpellier (4-0). And the Costa Rican goalkeeper received a blow to the chest, before the meeting, which forced him to be replaced by his understudy Sergio Rico at the break. Their state of health does not inspire particular concerns, but the Parisian staff do not want to rush their recovery and prefer to take the necessary precautions within three weeks of the shock against Barcelona (February 16). Especially since the return of the other wounded and sick from Covid-19 within the workforce, Mauricio Pochettino has a group large enough to travel in Morbihan.
The same principle is therefore applied to Ander Herrera absent from training sessions since the beginning of last week. The Spaniard was hit last Monday during an exercise at Camp des Loges and is currently suffering from a muscle problem in his thigh. These three could therefore miss the trip to Lorient like Juan Bernat still in rehabilitation after his knee surgery at the end of September.
For the rest, the Argentine coach should – except for last minute concerns – have the rest of his workforce. This will not be the case for the reception in Nîmes next Wednesday at the Parc des Princes. The disciplinary committee has indeed confirmed the suspensions of Marco Verratti and Neymar for a meeting.
Finally, according to RMC, the goalkeeper Marcin Bulka, 21, left on loan in the fall to FC Cartagena (Spanish D 2), could return to France for a new loan in Châteauroux (Ligue 2) this time.
