Strasbourg-PSG: a group with all the stars

It is an unsurprising Parisian group which is preparing to join Strasbourg on Friday April 29, surprising 6th in the standings, on behalf of the 35th day of Ligue 1. This Thursday at the Camp des Loges, all the usual stars were present at the training, on the eve of this shock against the 5th in Ligue 1, from Kylian Mbappé to Leo Messi, via Marco Verratti, Marquinhos…

Gueye suspended

Keylor Navas and Gianluigi Donnarumma are also there. The Italian should start this Friday after the two meetings made by his competitor against Angers and Lens. The absentees have been known for several weeks: Leandro Paredes (pubalgia), Julian Draxler (knee operation), Mauro Icardi (right quadriceps injury) and Abdou Diallo (adductor injury).

Note that for this trip to Alsace, Paris will be deprived in the middle of Gana Gueye, suspended, while he recovers Édouard Michut, after his sanction due to his expulsion to Angers two days ago. Colin Dagba, who is no longer part of the manager’s plans, trained separately due to discomfort in his right calf and will not feature in the group.

Mauricio Pochettino will hold a press conference this Thursday from Camp des Loges where he will detail his battle plan for the last four stages of the season. He had promised to launch young people once the title of champion acquired, which has been the case since Saturday April 23 and the draw against Lens (1-1) at the Parc des Princes.

But the last objective is to allow Kylian Mbappé to finish top scorer in the French Championship, or even to test this three-way defense with Sergio Ramos in the role of commander. Seats are getting expensive. After a defeat in Lille, the Strasbourg hope to take advantage of the weaknesses of PSG outside (four defeats) to revive.
