With just a few hours to go before their Club World Cup Round of 16 clash with Inter Miami, Paris Saint-Germain finalize their preparations in Atlanta. Ousmane Dembélé (28, right winger) is in sparkling form, while Presnel Kimpembe (29, central defender) is missing after picking up an injury earlier in the week.
The final stretch before the match against Inter Miami was marked by an excellent atmosphere in the Parisian squad. Ousmane Dembélé, back after a period of physical doubt, impressed with his liveliness and tonicity in training, reassuring the staff and his team-mates that he would be ready for Sunday evening’s decisive match.
On the other hand, the absence of Presnel Kimpembe, who suffered a sole injury during a recent training session, has added to the mystery surrounding PSG’s defensive line-up. This situation illustrates the fragility of the Parisian back line, already severely tested by repeated absences this season.
Luis Enrique, smiling and relaxed, has to deal with these vagaries while keeping his squad focused on the objective: to get past this hurdle against a Miami side buoyed by Lionel Messi. However, the positive momentum surrounding Dembélé could provide an attacking boost for PSG, whose motivation in the run-up to the global showdown is unquestionable.
