This Thursday, April 2, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on Fabian Ruiz’s return (the 29-year-old midfielder), which is taking shape after his knee injury at the end of January, even if it is not certain that he will be ready this Friday against Toulouse (Matchday 28 of Ligue 1). There is also a major topic on player salaries in Ligue 1, coaches’ salaries as well, as well as in women’s football.
No article on PSG.
As for Fabian Ruiz, PSG showed him on Monday working on the pitch with the ball. That gives hope for a return in the near future, but there is no need to get carried away either. A comeback after a joint issue can be delicate, and no risks will be taken. The hope is that the Spaniard will be in the squad tomorrow; we should know more this Thursday with an official medical update that is expected.
As for salaries, it is no surprise that PSG largely dominates the rankings on the men’s side, though without figures as high as in the era of the “stars.” Luis Enrique is also at the top, quite logically. There are still clubs that are nowhere near the same level in sporting and financial terms, a sign that money is not everything. On the women’s side, OL Lyonnes and PSG are clearly ahead, with amounts far below those of their male counterparts.
