After the disappointing 1-1 draw against Saint-Etienne, PSG know that Saturday’s win against Brest is a must. Mauricio Pochettino’s trainees want to cling to the leader Lyon, who are three points above them in the table. Who will continue to be absent for the Parisians is Neymar, who according to the club’s official website is still suffering from ankle problems and continues to train separately. The star has only played six games since the start of the season.
The one who will be available for the match is the striker Mauro Icardi. Despite pessimistic reports about his health, he was eventually included in Pochettino’s squad. In addition to him, Alessandro Florenzi and Evin Kurzawa also returned to fitness. PSG’s list of injured or missing now includes Neymar, Rafinha, Danilo Pereira, Juan Bernat, Personnel Kimpamba and Andrew Pardes.
Although he only arrived at PSG this week, the Argentine coach has already managed to mark a significant acquisition goal for next season – Sergio Aguero. If the move goes through, the Manchester City striker could move to Paris for free as his contract expires this summer. In the opposite direction, Julian Drexler is ending a six-month contract and may leave the team this summer. The candidate to take over is Arsenal.
Brest, who have lost to PSG in all of their last six meetings between the teams, and arrive after a 0-2 win over Nice, are currently in 10th place in the French league. A win over the Parisians could move her up to eighth place, a loss could drop her to 12th place.
