Marquinhos and Hakimi are fit for Bayern-PSG

To avoid all the logistical problems that the national strike could have caused on Tuesday, the Parisians decided to leave for Munich on Monday to complete the preparation for their round of 16 return against Bayern on Wednesday (9 p.m.). It’s very rare to see the group leave so early. In recent seasons, Paris did not even train on the pitches outside to avoid prying eyes. After training at the end of the morning at Camp des Loges, the players had an appointment a few hours later at Le Bourget airport to fly to Germany.

A share of risk that Marquinhos is ready to assume

Before taking the plane, Christophe Galtier was able to count on some good news. The Parisian coach saw Marquinhos training on Monday morning. Victim of an intercostal tear on Saturday against Nantes, the Brazilian was able to participate in the session with his teammates. Playing the Parisian captain on Wednesday at the Allianz Arena involves a share of risk that the defender is ready to take given the stakes of the match. The last rehearsal this Tuesday (6:15 p.m.) in the Bavarian enclosure will give indications before making a final decision.

Marquinhos wasn’t the only good news. Hit in the thigh, and absent since the first leg, Achraf Hakimi was also present on the grounds of Camp des Loges on Monday. The Moroccan was even able to make small four against four games at the end of training to find a little rhythm. A positive signal for the match, especially since Nordi Mukiele, whose calf and Achilles tendon are still painful, could not train. The Frenchman is all the same in the grouplike Renato Sanches, who also returned to his teammates on Monday.
