In recent weeks, Paris Saint-Germain has been hit by several injuries, particularly on the offensive side. Djamel announced this Friday evening that the squad could regain strength upon returning from the international break on Friday, October 17th against Strasbourg (Matchday 8 of Ligue 1). Indeed, Désiré Doué (20-year-old midfielder/forward) and Bradley Barcola (23-year-old forward) could be ready, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (24-year-old forward) is due to return to action tonight with Georgia against Spain.
“Désiré Doué has resumed some group sessions with the Parisian squad that remained in Paris during the break. He feels good at the moment and his goal is to be available to face Strasbourg. Bradley Barcola will test himself next week. If he has no discomfort, he will also be available after the break. For Kvaratskhelia, his goal was to be ready to face Spain tomorrow evening and, barring a relapse, he will also be available after the break, having informed the club that he is feeling much better.”
As for Kvaratskhelia, there’s no doubt he was able to train with Georgia and has already thanked PSG for his return. Now everything has to go well tonight. Things are more encouraging for Barcola and Doué, while the dates for their returns have not yet been set. There is clearly hope for PSG/Strasbourg, and that will have to be confirmed. Let’s keep our fingers crossed, it would do the world of good. Marquinhos (31-year-old defender and captain) and Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old striker) would be missing.
