PSG to Restart Training With Reshuffled Group After World Cup

The club will manage players’ returns with staggered rest windows to balance recovery and readiness, limiting leave for several French internationals and a new signing.

Overview

Paris Saint-Germain will reopen first-team training with a mostly non‑World Cup group and will devote the opening session to medical testing and fitness checks.
The 14 players who went to the World Cup will rejoin on a staggered schedule set by the club, with a standard four‑week break measured from each national‑team elimination date.
PSG has reduced the leave to three weeks for Fabián Ruiz, five French internationals (Lucas Hernández, Warren Zaïre‑Emery, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembélé) and new signing Lucas Digne to speed their preseason return.
Players knocked out earlier in the tournament such as Willian Pacho and Ibrahim Mbaye are expected back sooner and could be match‑ready quickly while Vitinha, João Neves and Marquinhos are not ruled out for the early Trophée des Champions fixture.
Nuno Mendes will follow a cautious recovery after his July 6 injury and Achraf Hakimi, who reached the World Cup quarter‑finals, may return later than many teammates as the club manages fitness for the start of the season.
