PSG hold on to young talent called up for U20 World Cup

Quentin Ndjantou, an 18-year-old striker trained at Paris Saint-Germain, was on the list of players called up to the French Team for the U20 World Cup from September 22 to October 20. But PSG has held him back, according to Le Parisien.

Le #PSG refuse de libérer Quentin Ndjantou pour la Coupe du monde U20. Moins d’une semaine après son triplé en Youth League, l’attaquant s’entraîne avec le groupe de Luis Enrique cet après-midi.

"Overwhelmed by injuries at the moment, particularly in the offensive sector (Dembélé, Doué, Barcola), PSG preferred to hold him back to anticipate the upcoming deadlines. He has even already been promoted with Luis Enrique's group. While he should have joined the selection this Tuesday evening, he participated in the training organized this afternoon the day after PSG's defeat in the Clasico at Marseille (0-1). Several other young players were present at the professional training: Mathis Jangeal (17 years old), Yanis Khafi (19 years old) and Wassim Slama (16 years old)."

It may be a disappointment for Ndjantou, who is missing out on a special event. However, it is also a sign of confidence from PSG, with the desire to have him in the professional group to strengthen it. It's also a great opportunity to show himself to coach Luis Enrique and his staff. Hard to sulk.

We note that Noham Kamara, an 18-year-old defender also called up for this U20 World Cup, has apparently been able to join the Bleuets. It must be said that there is no injury in this sector, while the Parisian attack is well affected at the moment.
