No risk will be taken with Nuno Mendes. I have been affected on a muscular level since the victory over Lens (3-1), and the Portuguese left side will not make the trip to Angers with the rest of the squad. Since the beginning of the week, he has remained present for group exercises on Thursday morning, but he will not be able to keep his place on the Red Lantern grounds for the championship. The day before, he was content to run with a physical trainer and would be too tight for this meeting.
“Our team is still weak even if we benefit from the return of Marco Verratti from injury. We will miss Nuno, who attended the session but his feelings are not good. There will be a precautionary principle regarding feeling bad at the muscular level,” explained Parisian coach Christophe Galtier, on PSG TV’s microphone.
The absence of the Portuguese benefits Juan Bernat to start on Friday (9pm) in the left lane. Young Seif Nhaga (17 years old) makes his first appearance in the group in an official match. So Ferrati is back. The Italian had missed the last two matches (Nice and Lens) due to a hamstring injury.
On the other hand, Paris is still deprived of Neymar, Presnel Kimpembe, Nordi Mukele (season ended), Renato Sanchez (right-handed), and Timotee Pembele, who continues the work of internal reinforcement.
