Paris Saint Germain must it during the League 1match against RC Lens do without seven strongholds. Neymar, Kylian Mbappé, Ángel Di María, Keylor Navas, Mauro Icardi, Marquinhos in Leandro Paredes have to let go of the game because of corona.
The seven players of the French champion all tested positive for the corona virus. The rule that a Ligue 1 match will be canceled if three or more players test positive was abolished last Friday. Now it applies that at least twenty of the thirty selection players must be available. The match between Lens and PSG will therefore continue as usual.
Chances are that the PSG players have contracted the virus in Ibiza, where all seven of them went on vacation. “The group was together,” trainer Thomas Tuchel said at a digital press conference, quoted by The team. “That is of course also a strength, that they do many things together. But now we are seriously at a disadvantage,” said Tuchel.
The German coach thinks it will be a tough match against Lens. “It’s important that we take the game seriously, but people shouldn’t expect too much from us.” The lack of key players may offer opportunities for Xavi Simons (17). He is in the match selection for the game, as well as a number of other talents.
