Arsenal v PSG: Star ‘no longer feels discomfort’, joins trio to be contention for CL clash

by · Sport Witness

Paris Saint-Germain will travel to the Emirates as they take on Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The Ligue 1 side enter this tie after securing a 3-1 win over Stade Rennais last Friday.

PSG manager Luis Enrique should be able to ‘count on five players’ who missed this clash, for the tie against Arsenal, according to Le Parisien.

Gianluigi Donnarumma, Vitinha, Marco Asensio, Nuno Mendes and Désiré Doué didn’t feature in PSG’s last league tie.

The Italian goalkeeper missed the last two league games and also the Champions League win over Girona due to a thigh injury.

The 25-year-old trained last week and exercised in the gym on Saturday. The former AC Milan star ‘no longer feels discomfort’.

Vitinha, on the other hand, had discomfort in his ankle. There’s been positive reports that the duo could be in contention to face the Gunners in London. They have been joined by Asensio, Mendes and Doué, who returned to training on Sunday.

The Spaniard is on schedule to recover from a thigh injury he picked up against Girona. Doué has made progress and has resumed training, while Mendes has recovered from illness.

This should certainly help Enrique when PSG take on Arsenal on Tuesday.
