Among other things, Verratti had returned early from Italy’s retirement together with Florenzi, after his commitment in Bulgaria, but for physical problems. Like his compatriot, the Giallorossi on loan has already missed the match against Lille, but will also have to renounce the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

Up to now Florenzi had escaped the previous waves of contamination within the PSG. At the end of January, Verratti had fallen ill in a mild form, like the central Diallo and two staff members, and after Rafinha, Pochettino, Kehrer and Dagba at the beginning of the year. Then it was the turn of the young Pembélé, and at the beginning of March to Kean, who was also sent home by the coach Mancini after having checked his physical condition not at best, at the end of his convalescence. At the end of the summer, just before Florenzi’s arrival, Neymar, Mbappé, Di Maria, Icardi, Paredes, Navas, Herrera and Captain Marquinhos also fell ill. The blue defender will now have to respect a quarantine of at least a week which will deprive him of two crucial matches for the calendar of the Emir of Qatar’s club.
