PSG will be without one of its key players for its Champions League opener on Wednesday evening against Girona.
Very bad news for Paris Saint-Germain. Three days before returning to the Champions League with the reception of Girona at the Parc des Princes, the capital club has announced the withdrawal of one of its key players. This is Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was injured against Brest on Saturday evening in Ligue 1 (3-1 victory for the Parisians).
“Following muscular discomfort in his right thigh felt during yesterday’s match against Brest, Gianluigi Donnarumma will remain in treatment this week. “, announced the French champions in a press release published this Sunday.
A big first for Safonov?
From then on, Matvey Safonov, the Russian goalkeeper who arrived at the beginning of the summer for 20 million euros, could play his first minutes in his new colours against Girona, in the Champions League. Unless Luis Enrique prefers Arnau Tenas, freshly awarded a gold medal with Spain at the Paris Olympics.
Despite the loss of their Italian goalkeeper, Paris Saint-Germain will start their Champions League campaign with full confidence. Already very good on a collective level, the Red and Blue have had a perfect start to the season, with four wins in as many matches played in the league. And no fewer than 16 goals scored!
