It will still be without Ousmane Dembélé. Affected by flu symptoms which deprived him of the match in Bilbao in the Champions League, the Parisian striker appears in the medical press release published by PSG before the trip to Metz on Saturday evening (7 p.m.), as part of the 16th day of Ligue 1.
The Ballon d’Or “has resumed individual training”, writes the club, which will also not be able to count on Marquinhos, who “remains in treatment following muscular fatigue in the right hip”. Paris does not provide further information on the unavailability of its captain, affected in the Spanish Basque Country.
With Chevalier or Safonov in Metz?
The good news comes from the return of Lucas Chevalier. After missing the last two matches (Rennes, Athletic Bilbao), due to a painful ankle following a nasty tackle from Monegasque Lamine Camara, the French goalkeeper is now fit to return to competition.
It remains to be seen what choice Luis Enrique will make, who has observed the recent good performances of Matvey Safonov. “He showed his quality and his personality,” said the Asturian about the usual understudy at a press conference.
Note that Lucas Beraldo seems to have recovered from his calf injury. Achraf Hakimi has already left for Morocco where he will complete his rehabilitation with the aim of being recovered in time for the African Cup of Nations.
