PSG Shuffle for Nice With Doué Out for Weeks, Rotation Before Bayern

PSG opts to manage Doué’s absence from within while preparing for Bayern.

Overview

  • PSG confirmed Désiré Doué sustained a right‑thigh muscle lesion and will be out for several weeks with a reassessment after the international break, with no surgery planned and, according to Le Parisien, no temporary January signing expected.
  • For the visit of Nice, Fabian Ruiz, Achraf Hakimi and Kang‑In Lee return to the squad, Doué remains unavailable and Ibrahim Mbaye is not called up, with Le Parisien reporting likely rotation that could rest several regulars and start Hakimi, João Neves and Senny Mayulu.
  • Luis Enrique said the staff are preoccupied daily with player health and that injuries are part of the profession, adding he is open to granting rest periods to protect individuals during a dense schedule.
  • Monaco coach Sébastien Pocognoli said Paul Pogba twisted an ankle in training and will miss the Paris FC match, with Le Parisien reporting the sprain is minor and a possible return as soon as next week if recovery proceeds as expected.
  • Injuries are shaping selections across Ligue 1, with Marseille’s Roberto De Zerbi warning he could be without seven to eight players, as Nice arrive in form after consecutive wins at the Parc and the top six sit within two points, per AFP.
