Ahead of the away UEFA Champions League contest on Matchday 2, Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly set a timeline for deciding on several key players for this clash.
L’Équipe reported this week that Gianluigi Donnarumma, Marco Asensio, and Désiré Doué are all doubtful for the upcoming match against Arsenal, causing some concerns for the team.
Meanwhile, Vitinha has been training on his own, and while his situation isn’t as concerning, there are still questions about his fitness with the Champions League just around the corner.
As the contest against the Gunners nears, the French media outlet provided a new update on these players who could be avaliable for manager Luis Enrique.
L’Equipe reports that Vitinha, Asensio, and Nuno Mendes’ status for the match will depend on how they feel in the next 48 hours. However, PSG was hoping for one or more returns among this trio, as the match on Friday confirmed that they do not have an abundant bench.
🚨 Pour Vitinha, Marco Asensio et Nuno Mendes, cela dépendra de leurs sensations ces prochaines 48h. Mais le PSG 🔴🔵 escomptait un ou plusieurs retours parmi ce trio, alors que la rencontre de vendredi a confirmé qu’il n’avait pas un banc pléthorique.
