Soon there will be no more room in the Parisian infirmary. Released on injury this Friday against Nîmes, during the seventh day of Ligue 1, Leandro Paredes joined Juan Bernat (knee), Thilo Kehrer (adductors), Mauro Icardi (knee), Marco Verratti (quadriceps), Julian Draxler (ischios- legs) and Marquinhos (adductors). Visibly hit in the right thigh, the Argentine midfielder was forced to give up his place in the 11th minute of play.
Replaced by Herrera
He was replaced by Ander Herrera, who came to settle in midfield alongside Idrissa Gueye and Rafinha. Not really reassuring, four days before the match against Manchester United in the Champions League.
Faced with a cascade of absences for the trip to Costières, with also suspended players (Layvin Kurzawa, Angel Di Maria) or preserved (Neymar and Danilo Pereira, contact case of Cristiano Ronaldo in Portuguese selection and forced to isolate himself), Thomas Tuchel already knows that he will be deprived of Icardi against the Red Devils.
Draxler, Verratti and Marquinhos, they are uncertain. A package from Paredes would be more bad news for the German technician. In Nîmes, Paredes followed a third straight start in Ligue 1.
