By force, there will not be many people behind. Paris Saint-Gerrmain faces a shortage of defenders, many of whom are injured or slightly diminished. The Champions League match in Dortmund in a week obliges Thomas Tuchel to take no risk for the trip to Dijon on Wednesday. "Diallo, Dagba, Marquinhos, Verratti and Kimpembe are not available for tomorrow," said the German coach.

What about Neymar? “We will decide after training. […] He must play when he is ready. We have to calculate the risks, talk to the doctors, and decide after the training. He is injured, we must be patient and careful with him, "he replied.

Tuchel fears physical match

If Thiago Silva and Juan Bernat, absent in recent weeks, should make their return to the group, Marquinhos, hit in the hamstrings at the end of January, will still be preserved for the match in Amiens, Saturday in Ligue 1.

What already ensure his return to Dortmund? "Honestly, I can only decide after Amiens. I never want to play without "Marqui", he is a key player for us but we have to wait, "said the Parisian coach.

Victims "suddenly" without gravity against Lyon (4-2) Sunday, Presnel Kimpembe and Marco Verratti also risk being spared the trip to Dijon. “I expect a very physical match with a lot of long balls, duels on the second balls. They only lost two games at home, "warned Thomas Tuchel.
