Infirmary: Navas back in training, Verratti in the running for the holder

Good news comes from the PSG infirmary: Keylor Navas is back in the squad for the day’s collective training while Marco Verratti is a candidate for a place in the starting XI for PSG / Bayern according to RMC .

Two days after the semi-final of the Champions League victorious against RB Leipzig (3-0), PSG will do their first full collective training while the holders of the match had mostly remained in care on Wednesday. This session also sees the return to collective training of Parisian goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who was hit eight days ago against Atalanta Bergamo in the quarter-finals. As expected, the Costa Rican is in the group that left for the Sporting facilities where PSG are training in Lisbon. The doorman must now test himself and see if his small muscle lesion is resolved but the PSG is optimistic about him.

Another good news, Marco Verratti is getting better and better. Entered into play against Leipzig for the last 12 minutes, he has been training normally since the end of last week and confided in a press conference on his state of health: “It’s getting better, I started slowly with the team. It was a bit hard to digest. But I started again with the group. I do everything to be on the scoresheet and arrive in the best possible shape. I’ll do anything to be in the twenty-three. “

According to information from RMC, it is much more than a place in the 23 of the group that the Italian is aiming for since he is clearly in contention for a place in the starting XI. And the radio reporters on the spot go even further: he will even hold “At 99%” for the Champions League final against Bayern according to the indiscretions recovered from the technical staff of PSG. The environment feels good and the 12 minutes played against Leipzig went very well.

A big training is scheduled for Thursday and it will then be possible to find out more about how fit Marco Verratti is to start Sunday’s final. Still according to RMC, PSG would always be structured towards a 4-3-3 and Verratti would start against Bayern next to Marquinhos in the middle of the field. Last place would then be played between Ander Herrera and Leandro Paredes, both performing against Leipzig on Tuesday night. The attacking trio would also remain the same. However, be careful with echoes on D-3 as the radio makes clear, Thomas Tuchel not being the last to create false leads before the games.
