The forward Marco Asensio and the goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma They will miss the match on the fifth day of Ligue 1 on Saturday against Reims (9:00 pm) after experiencing a muscle strain in his right thigh, announced this Friday the PSG.
“Marco Asensiowho suffered a muscle strain in his right thigh, will remain under treatment for the next week,” the club said in a medical statement.
The goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, injured last week, “continues his treatment,” added PSG, who also have to deal with long-term absences of Gonçalo Ramos (ankle), Lucas Hernández and Presnel Kimpembe.
“Injuries are part of football, but they are never something positive, and Marco’s (Asensio) injury is not serious. We are like a small family, we are all suffering,” Luis Enrique declared on Friday.
Asked about the lack of acquisitions during the market, along with the long list of injuries, Luis Enrique He replied that he did not regret the possible lack of reinforcements.
“I think next year we will have a better team, although I don’t know the players we will have. This is a positive thought that I am trying to convey to the club. This year we have a better team than last year ,” said the Spaniard, adding that his job “is being unfair.”
“I will be unfair throughout the season. I would like to be very unfair to many of them. It means they are prepared,” he stressed.
The Russian international Matvey Safonov He will start a second time in goal for Paris to make up for Donnarumma’s absence. And the absences of Ramos and Asensio will benefit Randal Kolo Muani, who could start on Saturday against Reims after his encouraging start on Wednesday against Girona (1-0).
“This is the shortest season we can have, with only two days between each match. The danger after the Champions League is there. We are playing against a good team, but we hope to know how to manage the situations this,” explained the Spaniard.
Asked about the possibility of a strike by several players, including Rodri and Jules Koundédue to calendar overload, Luis Enrique He did not give a direct answer: “We are lucky that our league has two less teams, which means four less games. The French league is different. We have to adapt to the demands of the club. Nothing I have to say too much. We have to adapt to the calendar”.
