While Paris Saint-Germain resumed training on July 27 to prepare for the 2026-2027 season, the squad was far from complete, as players who participated in the World Cup have been returning gradually following their post-elimination breaks. On Monday, PSG released a video showing the latest arrivals: Warren Zaïre-Emery, Lucas Hernandez, Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, new signing Lucas Digne, Achraf Hakimi, and Fabian Ruiz.
This is excellent news; PSG now has a full squad for training, allowing for the best possible preparation for the season ahead. There will likely still be some transfer market activity—such as the rumored departure of Barcola to Liverpool or the arrival of expected new signings (Mika Godts, Ferran Torres, and Zion Suzuki). However, it is worth noting that there are no injuries; conditions for training could hardly be better.
Now, time will be needed for the players and the squad to build up their form. Patience is essential during this rigorous return-to-training phase, which aims to ensure a successful full season rather than just immediate performance in the opening matches.
However, the first competitive match is fast approaching: the UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa this Wednesday. There are significant questions regarding the starting lineup and playing time, given that key players only returned today. This will be a major talking point leading up to Wednesday evening.
