PSG train in Qatar ahead of Intercontinental clash with Flamengo | OneFootball

The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) held its first training session in Qatar on Monday to prepare for the Intercontinental Cup final against Flamengo. The French team arrived in Doha just on the afternoon of last Sunday.

The team trained in the morning, in a session closed to the press, at the Al Ersal Training Center. On Tuesday, PSG will participate in the pre-match press conference at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium and hold another training session.

PSG will have a significant absence for the final. Moroccan right-back Achraf Hakimi suffered a severe ankle sprain and is out of the match. As a result, the young midfielder Zaïre-Emery is expected to be improvised in the position to cover the absence.

Besides the confirmed absence, the coaching staff is still dealing with uncertainties. Brazilian defender Marquinhos, recovering from a hip injury, has returned to training with the squad and will be evaluated until the day of the game. Meanwhile, forward Dembélé, who is recovering from a virus, continues to be monitored.

The French team is in high spirits after defeating Metz 3-2 in the 16th round of the French Championship. Luis Enrique's team is the runner-up in the national competition, behind Lens, which has 37 points.

PSG and Flamengo will face off for the Intercontinental Cup title starting at 2 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday. The Brazilian team reaches the final after having eliminated Cruz Azul from Mexico 2-1 and Pyramids 2-0.
