Ligue 1: PSG still without Asensio and Kimpembe before Rennes

The time for recovery has still not come for Marco Asensio. Injured during the last gathering of the Spanish team, "trauma to the foot" was indicated, the ex-Madrilenian was announced out "at least until the end of the month" of September. However, he has not yet returned to the field with PSG. And this will no longer be the case on Sunday in Rennes (8:45 p.m.), during the last match of the eighth day of Ligue 1. The club simply indicates that the person concerned is “continuing his recovery process”.

For the rest, no new injuries within the Parisian squad after Wednesday's defeat at Newcastle (4-1). Presnel Kimpembe, who has resumed work on the field for several days now, and Nuno Mendes are therefore the only two other Parisians absent.

Out since November 2022, just before the World Cup in Qatar, the first “continues his rehabilitation work”, while the second, announced unavailable for around four months, “will remain at rest for the next few days following his operation”. The Portuguese has also received numerous messages of support from Parisian supporters. “It’s beautiful, I really like the Parisian supporters, they did everything for me, they sang my name... I’m happy with the support. I will work hard to come back stronger,” said the former Sporting CP player, via the club media.

While waiting for the return of these three injured players, Luis Enrique called up 21 players for the trip to Brittany on Sunday, the 19 who went to England on Wednesday plus Cher Ndour and Layvin Kurzawa, who cannot be selected in C1. Remember that Kang-in Lee is still training with his national team. The South Korean team will challenge Japan in the Asian Cup final this Saturday.
