PSG – Toulouse: a great return postponed ?

Paris Saint-Germain, leader of Ligue 1, faces Toulouse this Friday in the opening of the 12th day. A slight turnover is expected on the Parisians' side.

He hasn't played for three months, and his absence has been widely felt. By seriously injuring his ankle, Gonçalo Ramos has lost none of his credibility, and has even gained some in the eyes of supporters and his coach Luis Enrique. All observers have detected PSG's lack of influence in the opposing area this season, particularly on the European stage. A profile like that of the Portuguese would bring a huge plus to the game of the Parisians. Equipped with characteristics of a pure centre forward with a passing game, generosity in his efforts, great presence in the air and speed of execution in the penalty area, the former Benfica player probably has no equal in the Parisian squad. These good training sessions during the break should help him return to competition in the coming days.

Gonçalo Ramos still a little short

However, his coach has remained evasive about his possible return tonight against Toulouse "He is in the final stages of his recovery. When will he be available? ? I don't know, I'll see him in training. He is already very good. All that remains is to refine himself so that he can participate (in matches). Same for Kimpembe and Hernandez. Ramos is a bit like Kolo Muani, a finisher. Players who will provide continuity, but their preference is to play in the box. They have a good defensive level. That's why we signed him ” to release Luis Enrique. A speech that tends towards caution and which should still favor the starting line-up of Marco Asensio at the forefront in front of Barcola.

The Iberian coach should nevertheless choose the right men for this opposition against Toulouse based on the state of fatigue of his protégés following the international window " This day after the break is always special. We must not only take into account the match against Toulouse, but also the load of minutes in the national selection. We will make the necessary decisions because this match is the priority objective.” The physical criterion is however not the only evaluation parameter for him  ” My only concern as a coach is that the players are tired, they have played a lot and that worries me. The first message I give to my team is to reconnect with the club. If they rub shoulders with other coaching methods, that is the life of a footballer. “We have to adapt to the coaches”.

A TFC that is solid defensively

PSG, who trained in the snow yesterday at Poissy, will be without Nuno Mendes while Ousmane Dembel, who injured his thigh against Angers, could start on the bench. Opposite the side Toulouse's Carlos Martinez Novell should have his contingent of fifteen internationals called up for selection, but the late returns of American defender Mark McKenzie and Chilean full-back Gabriel Suazo could encourage him to modify his central defense. As a reminder, Toulouse (10th ranked) remains on three games without conceding a goal.
