Donnarumma victim of burglary
The Italian doorman was robbed at his home overnight from Thursday to Friday. The PSG goalkeeper and his companion were reportedly tied up at gunpoint. The amount of loot stolen is apparently “significant”. According to relatives of Donnarumma, despite the shock, the Transalpin should participate in the tour in Japan but is absent today
9-0!
The last time the two teams met was in a friendly match in July 2020. PSG won 9-0 with goals from Neymar and Mbappé in particular.
Neymar, Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes absent
If the Brazilian and the French, in recovery, should quickly join the Parisian group for the rest of the preparation matches, it is much more complicated for the Portuguese side. Victim of a rupture of the joint tendon of the right hamstring, Nuno Mendes will remain in care for the next few weeks.
The Mbappé brothers both present
In this enlarged group of 27 players summoned by Luis Enrique (26 without DOnnarumma), the two Mbappé brothers are very important today. If Kylian, drowned by rumors, seems ready to resume with PSG, Ethan will want to show what he is capable of if he wants to hope to integrate the professional group regularly.
Le Havre, it works well
Under the leadership of Mathieu Bodmer, new sporting director, the Norman club has had a sensational 2022-2023 season. With intelligent recruitment and management on a human scale, Luka Elsner’s squad flew over the Ligue 2 championship for a large part of the season to finally obtain a rise in the elite, almost unexpected at the start of the exercise. This season, we left with the same basics. Certain players, like Richardson or Kongolo, left, but others arrived, without the club spending too much money.
An eventful transfer window on the Parisian side
After long weeks of waiting, it was finally Luis Enrique who was appointed by the PSG board to succeed Christophe Galtier. Many players arrived at the same time as him, like Asensio, Ugarte, Skriniar, Hernandez, Lee Kang-In and the young Cher Ndour. Also note the departure for the United States of Leo Messi, and the summer soap opera Mbappé which continues. We are still waiting for the signing of a number 9 but also of Bernardo Silva, courted for many weeks by the capital club.
