Between injuries and rotations, a notable number of players from PSG will not visit Montpellier this Sunday (8:45 pm) in a Ligue 1 matchday 26 match. The leader of the French championship wants, as his coach Luis Enrique said 24 hours after playing at the Stade de la Mosson, to win Ligue 1 “as soon as possible” to then fight “for all the title”, especially the Champions League. League that the Parisian club has never won and will face FC Barcelona in the quarterfinals. PSG has gone ahead with their medical report that, after missing several games, captain Marquinhos is “still treating his Achilles tendon pain,” so he is not rushing his return before the national team break.
In central Brazil They will accompany you on that break strategically, with the inevitable tie against Barça on the horizon marking everything, Milan Skriniar and Marcos Asensio. The Slovakian centre-back, who has already handled the ball, “continues his recovery work in individual training”, but his return is getting closer every day since he injured his left ankle in January. The Spanish midfielder, who has strained his right ischium, continues “his recovery work.” while, French defender Presnel Kimpembe maintains “recovery exercises”, recovering from a long-term injury that will not allow him to return to collective training for several weeks.
Marquinhos’ rush is in vain as PSG enjoy their lead in Ligue 1 with a comfortable 10-point lead over second-placed Brest. Marquinhos was out of the French Cup match against Nice in midweek and the plan is for him to return at the end of the month against OM, after the Brazilian national team sidelined him for treatment. that Achilles tendon that has been bothering him for weeks.
There are some doubts about former Real Madrid player Marcos Asensio. Although his thigh injury does not seem to be in danger, he has not trained with the group these days and will not play in Montpellier.
On the part of Montpellier, thirteenth in the table, 30 points behind PSG and one above the relegation zone, there are at least three absences. His coach Michel Der Zakarian announced three casualties. One is the left winger Axel Guégin and, above all, two starters like the Swiss right back Silvan Hefti and the defensive midfielder Joris Chotard, famous for marking Neymar a few years ago. After three consecutive draws in Ligue 1, where they have not won since February 17, Luis Enrique can bet on a very competitive eleven assembled by Donnarumma; Hakimi, Danilo, Beraldo, Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Ugarte, Vitinha; Dembélé, Mbappé, Barcola. Montpellier, needing to extend the good momentum after beating Nice, could build on Lecomte; Tchato, Omeragic, Kouyate, Sylla; Ferri, Leroy; Al-Taamari, Savanier, Nordin; Khazri.
Florent Batta will be the referee, assisted in VAR by Jérôme Brissard and Christian Guillard.
