A smooth start to school and no delays. “It’s been a few years since there were any bad surprises on the day of the restart,” laughs a regular at the PSG Campus. After nine days of vacation, the players of the capital club returned to training this Tuesday afternoon in Poissy. No Parisian was missing for this resumption day, except Achraf Hakimi and Ibrahim Mbaye who are currently playing in the African Cup of Nations with Morocco and Senegal.
In cool temperatures, the European champions were able to touch up the ball and regain some rhythm after following an individualized program during the holidays in order to maintain their physical fitness before a busy month of January.
Happy to meet again and to be reunited before starting the second part of the season, Ousmane Dembélé’s partners showed their good humor during this session. Luis Enrique, also on the attack, appreciated the good state of mind and the seriousness of his troops who are always so ambitious before starting the year 2026.
Three sessions before the derby against the PFC
As expected, goalkeeper Matvey Safonov (left hand) and striker Kang-in Lee (left thigh) did not take part in the collective session and will still have to wait before returning to the pitches of the PSG Campus. Both men continue to recover from their injuries sustained during the Intercontinental Cup Final and are following their recovery protocols which are proceeding as normal. Quentin Ndjantou, injured in his hamstring against Vendée Fontenay and absent for six to eight weeks, also remained away from the group.
Parisians will end the year 2025 with a final session this Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. Resting on Thursday January 1, the Parisians will have two other training sessions on their program on Friday and Saturday to prepare for the reception of Paris FC on Sunday evening at the Parc des Princes (8:45 p.m.).
