Overview

  • Désiré Doué sustained a right thigh muscle lesion against Lorient and is out for several weeks, with a medical update scheduled after the international break.
  • PSG does not plan a January signing specifically to replace Doué, with Luis Enrique set to rely on existing options such as Kang-in Lee and youth depth, according to Le Parisien.
  • Luis Enrique said he is open to resting players to protect health, and PSG is expected to rotate against Nice before facing Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
  • PSG remains top of Ligue 1 despite uneven domestic form compared with a flawless Champions League campaign, and Nice visits the Parc des Princes on Saturday.
  • Paul Pogba twisted an ankle in Monaco training and is ruled out against Paris FC, with his coach targeting availability after the international break as reports suggest the knock is minor and could allow an earlier return.
