This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain (25th) take on Bayern Munich (17th) at the Allianz Arena for Matchday 5 of the 2024-2025 Champions League (kick-off 9pm, broadcast on Canal+Foot). With 2 days to go before the match, L’Equipe provides an update on the Parisian squad, with some very good news concerning Nuno Mendes (22-year-old left-back).
“Good news for Luis Enrique and his staff: there are no injuries to report after the match against TFC. Aside from the long-standing absentees (Presnel Kimpembe, Lucas Hernandez and Gonçalo Ramos), the Spanish coach should be able to count on his entire squad, and in particular Nuno Mendes, who suffered a right ankle sprain while on international duty. The Portuguese full-back was spared on Friday.”
We remain cautious, as we’ve already seen the media be quite wrong about a player’s return or absence. But coach Luis Enrique seemed rather optimistic in front of the media. So there is hope that Nuno Mendes will be available for this match.
He’ll be a great addition to the squad if they’re to win against a strong team. No one will be too much, as the 3 points seem necessary.
