PSG is still waiting to see Kang-in Lee in the long term. Recruited for 22 million euros in Mallorca at the start of the summer, the midfielder has not really managed to string together matches with Paris. Affected during the first friendly match against Le Havre on July 21, the South Korean was injured again in Ligue 1 against Toulouse, thus missing the matches against Lens (3-1, August 26) and Lyon ( 4-1, September 3).
This time, Kang-in Lee will once again be absent for reasons unrelated to his state of health. PSG has, in fact, agreed to participate in the Asian Games which take place from September 23 to October 9 with South Korea. An important deadline which will force him to miss the second Champions League match against Newcastle (October 4), as well as the Marseille reception (September 24) since he should be released just before.
After the injury to Marco Asensio, who will be absent for a month, Paris will have to do without a new offensive element. Fortunately, the capital club is coming out of a fairly dense transfer window in this sector and will therefore be able to count on Bradley Barcola, Gonçalo Ramos, Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani and Kylian Mbappé for its next deadlines.
