Luis Enrique, 55, Paris Saint-Germain coach, will be on the bench for the match against Lens this Sunday, reports RMC Sport. The Spaniard will lead the pre-match training session and has received messages of support from several PSG players, confirming the solidarity around him.
“Spanish coach Luis Enrique, who underwent surgery on his collarbone after a cycling fall a week ago, did not lead PSG’s training session this Thursday. The trend is for him to lead the pre-match training session this Saturday and be on the bench this Sunday against Lens (5:15 p.m.) at the Parc des Princes for the fourth matchday of Ligue 1.”
The scene may seem anecdotal, but it speaks volumes about the current atmosphere at Paris Saint-Germain. Despite a recent cycling crash, Luis Enrique has made a point of staying close to his squad and will be on the bench against Lens. This choice demonstrates a rare solidarity within a Parisian dressing room often caricatured as divided. The players, who sent him several messages of support, see this gesture as proof of a coach willing to share their efforts and challenges with them.
On the eve of an important Ligue 1 match, just before diving into the intensity of the Champions League, the image sent is powerful: Paris is not just a collection of individuals, but a united team around its coach. We can’t wait for the competition to resume.
