VSPress / SIPA
Pochettino is back from his isolation, two other players from Paris Saint-Germain enter.
Marco Verratti and Abdou Diallo are indeed positive for Covid-19, the club announced on Friday.
And will miss the match against Lorient on Sunday (3 p.m.) for the 22nd day of Ligue 1.
Given the quarantine delays, they should most likely miss the next two games, against Nîmes on Wednesday, and the shock at Olympique de Marseille on Sunday, February 7.
Without Marquinhos and Navas?
Italian midfielder Verratti and central defender Diallo "are confirmed positive in the Sars-Cov2 PCR test. They will therefore respect isolation and are subject to the appropriate health protocol," PSG wrote in a statement.
In addition to these two players who must withdraw, the new coach of PSG, Mauricio Pochettino, is not sure of being able to line up his captain, Marquinhos (adductors), nor his goalkeeper Keylor Navas (blow to the chest).
Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera, absent last week against Montpellier (4-0), is also uncertain.
Lorient has recovered Covid patients, but not goalkeeper Paul Nardi or left side Vincent Le Goff who will not have recovered from the virus.
