PSG v Strasbourg: Key returns, two doubts, one ruled out

This Friday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Strasbourg (3rd) at the Parc des Princes as part of the 8th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026 (kick-off at 8:45 PM, broadcast on Ligue1+). This Friday, RMC Sport provided an update on the Parisian infirmary, with several returns on the horizon, but also some uncertainties and the withdrawal of Marquinhos (31-year-old central defender and captain).

Several returns almost certain.

“Joao Neves should indeed be fit this time. Luis Enrique should also be able to count on Senny Mayulu. Called up with the French under-21 team, the Frenchman ultimately stayed off the field during this break due to a thigh injury. Fabian Ruiz, who also missed the gathering with his national team due to a muscular problem, should also be fit. Unavailable for over a month due to his calf injury with the Blues against Ukraine on September 5, Désiré Doué should also be back. PSG could also recover Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé, but uncertainty still surrounds the two players.

Barcola and Dembélé still uncertain, one player out.

For the first, the Parisian staff does not want to take any risks. He should test himself quickly in the coming days, but his recent muscular fatigue prompts the Parisian club to be extra cautious. Caution is also advised for the second. The forward is doing better after benefiting from the facilities at Aspetar. He could be in the squad for Strasbourg. One shadow on the horizon: Marquinhos is not yet recovered from his quadriceps injury sustained in training. Paris really does not want to take any risks with their captain. He might remain in treatment for several more days. It is even difficult to envision him being fit for the Champions League match at Bayer Leverkusen next week.”

We remain cautious, nothing is certain without an official statement. This should come this Thursday, alongside the press conference (scheduled for 1 PM) or training (5 PM), if PSG follows its usual practices. This will provide more information, even if there will be nothing certain about each player's playing time. After these injuries, the Parisian staff will undoubtedly be cautious.

But there is hope to see the Parisian group regain strength. It would be an excellent opportunity after difficult weeks. Let's hope there won't be any more bad news soon. It would be very beneficial for everyone to have more options for the team.
