At the forefront of the match, which will take place Sunday at 12 noon in Atlanta and at 6 p.m. in France, the absent from PSG/Inter Miami are clearing. On the Parisian side, Ousmane Dembélé is finally available while Presnel Kimpembe is uncertain.
Winner of Seattle on Monday, PSG validated its ticket for the round of the club World Cup by finishing first in its group B in front of Botafogo. The reigning European champion will thus face the Inter Miami of Lionel Messi on Sunday on Sunday on the side of Atlanta for a kick -off scheduled at 12 noon, ie 6 p.m. French time.
In a Mercedes-Benz Stadium which will be air-conditioned and where it will normally be quite good (between 18 and 20 degrees), Luis Enrique can count on Ousmane’s big return Dembelépreserved since the start of the competition following its lesion to the left thigh contracted on June 5 with the French team.
Dembélé finally back, Kimpembe uncertain
Already fit on Monday against Seattle, Dembélé had not been used by the staff, who had preferred not to take any risks. Even if PSG is largely favorite on paper against Inter Miami, it is expected that the French international returns to the field on Sunday. The question is above all to know if it will start the match or will enter during the game.
Ousmane Dembélé has been training in any case with the group for several days, which has not been the case with Presnel Chanterze Wednesday. The French central defender remained indoors and has still not played the slightest minute in the United States, he who had been the victim of bone edema in the 2nd metatarsal right foot at the end of May and has not replayed since April 19.
Regarding the disciplinary component, PSG has three players under the threat of a quarter suspension in the event of a new warning (Marquinhos, Ruiz and Neves), but no suspension for this round of 16. It is therefore a complete PSG that will face the Inter Miami of Lionel Messiwhich has no suspension either for this meeting, but five players under the threat in the event of a new yellow card (including the Argentinian).
Several injured in Inter Miami, but the stars present
At the infirmary level, the MLS franchise can count on the return of injury of Jordi Alba, who returned twice in play against Porto and Palmeiras. Of the 29 players registered by Inter Miami for the Club World Cup, 5 are injured on the other hand, including central defender Ian Frayhit the left adductor in the second group match against Porto and package against Palmeiras.
Inter Miami has not given news from its state of health since its June 20 press release. Package since the start of the competition, the Hondurian midfielder David Ruíz appeared in training on Thursday, but will probably be too fair to start on Sunday against PSG since he has not played since last March.
The American goalkeeper Drake Callenderthe Italian defensive midfielder Yannick Bright and the Argentinian defender Gonzalo Luján have also been injured for several weeks and have not played a competition match. They should logically be packaged this Sunday. Sergio Busquets, Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and therefore Jordi Alba are fit.
