There will be no second game in a row as a starter for Sergio Ramos. While everyone thought that after his good performance against Brest, Sergio Ramos was going to chain a second consecutive meeting. The Spanish central defender is forfeited for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France against Nice this Monday evening (9:15 p.m.).
In a statement, the club said that “Sergio Ramos is scheduled to take a rest period for a low-grade right calf muscle injury that occurred Thursday in training which will be reassessed midweek.” And in his press briefing, Mauricio Pochettino the Parisian coach made a point of specifying that for the moment “We do not yet know its duration of unavailability”.
16 days before the meeting against Real Madrid in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, this physical glitch again throws the blur around a possible participation in this match of Sergio Ramos.
Neymar and Wijnaldum work hard
In its medical point, PSG also indicated that Neymar “following his sprained left ankle with ligament damage, has finished a first cycle of running in the axis and will carry out exams on Monday to validate the rest of the program”. For Georginio Wijnaldum “following his sprained left ankle with partial damage to the internal lateral ligament, continues his individual program for a resumption with the group at the end of the week.”
Return of Donnarumma
Absent for 8 short days because of a recalcitrant calf, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma should hold his place. The Italian who missed the game against Reims due to right calf discomfort will be “present in the group” said Mauricio Pochettino.
PSG – Nice, match to follow in full on France Bleu Paris, from 9 p.m. this Monday, kick-off at 9:15 p.m. with Miguel Derennes, Eric Rabesandrantana and Bruno Salomon.
