Announced absent for three weeks after his injury contracted against Bordeaux on February 23, and therefore forfeited to the knockout stages of the Champions League, Thiago Silva could well be present against Dortmund on Wednesday. The captain of PSG resumed training on Friday, a week ahead of the original plan. Too short for the trip to Strasbourg on Saturday, it does everything to be able to apply in the coming days.
“We are even more confident after yesterday (Thursday). He will train today and we will go up even more in intensity on Saturday and Sunday, explained Thomas Tuchel in a press conference this Friday. I spoke with him, he absolutely wants to play on Wednesday and he is actively preparing. "

- 20 Minutes Sport (@ 20minutesSport) March 3, 2020The staff will closely monitor the Brazilian defender, and a choice will be made at the last moment, Tuesday or even Wednesday. His presence or not "will influence the positioning of Marquinhos," said Tuchel.
Even if Thiago Silva is ready, we will have to see if it's really a good idea. It is always risky to bring into a match of such intensity someone who has not played for three weeks on a match. But that, the German coach surely has in mind.
