The weeks go by and injuries are still on the Paris Saint-Germain calendar. Friday, Luis Enrique will be deprived of numerous elements, including two starters in his midfield, during the trip to Auxerre (8 p.m.). The Parisian medical bulletin has been released and “a shock to the left knee” against Sporting will prevent Fabian Ruiz from participating in the match.
On Wednesday, the Spanish midfielder was injured in the 80th minute of the Parisian defeat (2-1) during the 7th day of the first round of the Champions League. The former Naples player will remain in treatment this weekend. The former Sporting, Nuno Mendes, will carry out indoor work. The Portuguese will miss the trip to Auxerre, like Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan left-back is back after the defeat of the Atlas Lions in the final of the African Cup of Nations against Senegal (1-0, ap).

If the Parisian coach relies on young people to compensate for absences, this time he will not be able to count on Quentin Ndjantou (18 years old), who is also in care. Finally, longer-term injured people will always be missing. These are Lee Kang-In, João Neves and Matvey Safonov, who are “pursuing suitable work”, according to the capital club.
