The Parisian club has just made its recovery, two days before its round of 16 in the Coupe de France against Vannes (National 2). For the return to training following the holiday break, the majority of Parisian executives were present, such as Kylian Mbappé, Presnel Kimpembe, Marco Verratti or Keylor Navas. The South American players were excused an extra day. Three players have already left for the African Cup of Nations: Achraf Hakimi with Morocco, Abdou Diallo and Idrissa Gueye with Senegal.
