Sunday, for the shock against OM, PSG should appear a little better armed than against Lens Thursday night.

On the scoresheet, anyway.

Most of the major absentees due to Covid could indeed return, even if no risk will be taken according to their physical condition.

In detail, the best placed for a possible starting place are Neymar, Angel Di Maria and Keylor Navas.

The Brazilian announced his return to training on Friday, suggesting he was well healed.

“I resumed training.

Super happy, ”the player wrote on Twitter, using the hashtag #CORONAOUT.

Voltei aos treinos, super feliz ... O PAI TA ON 🤪 #CORONAOUT

Navas also trained on Friday.

The two men were part of the first wave of infected.

It is the date of August 27 which indeed appears on the documents submitted by the PSG to the Covid commission of the LFP, reports the newspaper

Le Parisien

.

They have therefore finished with the fortnight provided for by the health protocol of the League for any positive player.

As for Di Maria, he is expected this Saturday at Camp des Loges, just like Leandro Paredes.

It will be very short to play a match as intense as the one that awaits the Parisians on Sunday, but

L'Equipe

du jour specifies that the Argentinian winger has very good feelings.

"I cannot expect them to be decisive"

For all these players, Thomas Tuchel will not take any risk, but he should rely on the feelings of the players.

Maybe Neymar and Di Maria will play a half or an hour to make the difference before leaving their place.

Or maybe they'll start off the bench, ready to come out if things go wrong.

Among the other players affected, Mauro Icardi is still far too fair, while doubts remain about Marquinhos.

Tuchel would have to decide at the last moment who he summons or not.

"If they are there, OK, but they will be in a physical state where I cannot expect them to be decisive," the German said on Thursday of all his patients.

He must still hope for it a little bit.
