On the eve of the Champions League match between Paris Saint-Germain and Atlético de Madrid, the two teams are preparing in very contrasting conditions. On the PSG side, with the exception of long-term injured players like Gonçalo Ramos and Lucas Hernandez, the group is almost complete. Luis Enrique was thus able to count on a solid squad for training at the Poissy Campus, with a possible return of Presnel Kimpembe to the squad, although it has not yet been confirmed.
Significant absences for Atlético before the clash against PSG
Atlético, on the other hand, arrives in Paris with a defense weakened by several absences. Jose Maria Gimenez is suspended, while Marcos Llorente, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Robin Le Normand are still injured. These unavailability forces Diego Simeone to recompose his rearguard, with midfielder Axel Witsel who should start in central defense alongside Clément Lenglet. Currently struggling with just one win in three group stage matches, Atlético will need to overcome these challenges to hope for a favorable result at the Parc des Princes.
