This Tuesday, October 7, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain and the conflict that erupted on Monday with the French Football Federation over Bradley Barcola. The latter announced that the 23-year-old forward would be out for the October break due to a “chronic injury since September 17,” and PSG firmly denied this. There’s also Senny Mayulu (19-year-old midfielder) who is out for the youth team (not to mention João Neves with Portugal), and a word on the return to form of Lucas Hernandez (29-year-old defender).
It’s a very peculiar situation surrounding Barcola, with his absence being certain but the cause somewhat unclear. Why would the FFF lie? There may be a desire to take a jab at PSG after the Parisian club’s complaints last time regarding the management of Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) and Désiré Doué (20-year-old midfielder/forward). Except that the Parisian club can easily deny it. Unless Paris is twisting the truth? Which would also be strange. In any case, it’s positive for no one to see such tension. Let’s hope for a resolution soon.
In the meantime, Mayulu and Neves are also out. We hope they can recover quickly. For now, there’s no talk of a long-term injury. Lucas Hernandez is far from these troubles at the moment, and we can only wish that continues, as he’s already had his share of bad luck. The defender is taking advantage of his playing time to return to full form, which is great news for PSG and France. He’s also a fine example of determination.
