Pochettino has to deal with many absentees
Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas and Argentine midfielder Angel Di Maria have withdrawn from the match of the 31st match day of Ligue 1, and are uncertain for next week’s “clasico” against Marseille. In addition, German midfielder Julian Draxler’s season is likely to be over: he is due to undergo surgery on the outer meniscus of his right knee on Friday, according to a PSG press release and will no longer train for “30 to 45 days”. Central defender and captain Marquinhos are spared. “He has some muscle discomfort, we have decided to give him a rest, after the week he has spent at family level with the birth of his son,” explained the coach, Mauricio Pochettino. Finally, Senegalese defender Abdou Diallo (adductors) is due to resume training in ten days, and Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera in eight days.
Good evening everyone
Paris Saint-Germain don’t have to worry about fighting for European places. Well settled in the leader’s seat with a twelve-point lead over number two, Stade Rennais, the capital club is focused on what it still needs to do to secure a tenth French championship title. A win over Clermont would bring Mauricio Pochettino’s men closer to this goal.
