PSG v Auxerre: 3 great bits of news for Paris!

This Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) faces Auxerre (10th) at Parc des Princes as part of the 6th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026 (kick-off at 9:05 PM, broadcast on Ligue1+). This Wednesday, Le Parisien updated on the injuries of João Neves (20-year-old midfielder), Bradley Barcola (23-year-old forward), and Désiré Doué (20-year-old midfielder/forward). The first two could play this match, while the 3rd could be back against FC Barcelona on Wednesday (2nd day of the Champions League). As a reminder, Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) will not return until the international break in early October.

"A match that João Neves hopes to play. Injured in the hamstrings against Atalanta Bergamo (4-0), the Portuguese midfielder has had a good recovery. He will test himself on Thursday and Friday to see if he can at least play a few minutes this weekend, just to regain rhythm four days before facing Barcelona. The same goes for Bradley Barcola who felt a slight muscle discomfort at the end of the week's training. Absent from the group in Marseille, the French winger must first gauge his feelings before making a final decision on his participation against Auxerre. Like Neves, he is expected to be available for the trip to Barcelona. Désiré Doué has resumed running exercises on a specialized machine and is moving in the right direction in his recovery process. There is a slim hope of seeing him on the bench in Barcelona."

These are very good news, as PSG has big matches coming up and points to take. Key players have been in the infirmary, their returns are awaited. Which should happen very quickly for Neves and Barcola. Which is not a surprise, but it is of course preferable.

We are delighted to see that there will not be a surprise and we can hope that Doué will also return quickly. Even if he should not rush. His presence against Barcelona would be at best for a few minutes. We hope, of course, that there will be no other injuries by then. It would be nice to see the group fill up. Especially at the offensive level, where the wave of injuries has been concentrated.
