vThis Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st place) will face Olympique de Marseille (7th place) at the Stade Vélodrome for matchday 5 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season (kick-off at 8:45 PM, CET). On Saturday, Djamel reported that Bradley Barcola (23-year-old forward) was given a light training session.
“Bradley Barcola is experiencing some mild muscle fatigue and therefore only participated in part of today’s training session.”
There’s nothing particularly alarming, but it’s clear that Barcola needs to be handled with some caution. He might not start tomorrow, although being on the bench for this match could be frustrating. Especially since PSG undoubtedly wants to rely on a player who has been performing well recently.
He was given a lighter workload today, possibly with the intention of starting tomorrow, but perhaps not playing the full 90 minutes. We’ll wait for the official team announcement to be sure of coach Luis Enrique’s selection.
