Possible Turnover, Returns of WZE and Marquinhos, Tenas, Mbappé’s Freedom: Luis Enrique’s Update before PSG-Nantes

Luis Enrique provided an update on the squad ahead of the clash with Nantes at Parc des Princes on Saturday in Ligue 1.

Possible Turnover? « It’s possible, yes. »

Dortmund. « It’s an important match. They played with a 4-3-3, which can be useful for our preparation. It’s a new coach, he has only had one game. Against us, teams are used to changing. Tomorrow’s scenario may be more open, but it doesn’t change our goal. We must be ready to compete against any system, with more or less pressure. It’s important to have a great home game, be superior upfront, play at a high level to prepare for the Dortmund match. »

Returns. « Marquinhos’ situation? He trained with the team, he’s fine. Zaïre-Emery? Same, he is available. It’s very good news for the team and for me. »

Tenas. « His daily attitude makes him prepared to play at any moment. When he has to play, he is a high-level player, and he is at his maximum. It’s strong because normally the third goalkeeper does not participate. But he was ready. »

The new shareholder. « It’s certainly great news for PSG. It indicates the potential of the club, where we want to go. It’s one of the best clubs in the world at all levels. »

Mbappé’s position? Free… « Kylian has total freedom in attack. He has defensive duties, like all players, but he has the freedom to go on the wing, in the center, or as a false nine. He played the last match (against Le Havre) like the others. »

Hakimi absent this Friday. « It’s for personal reasons; he’s doing very well. Tomorrow, he will be in the group to play the match. I won’t comment on this matter; there’s nothing serious. It won’t have any influence for tomorrow. »

Barcola. « Of course, he is mature. I said it from the start. I am very satisfied with all the players, especially Bradley. He is a player with the natural ability to dribble. He has very good qualities, a good attitude. He is a player for the future. But the future is tomorrow. I think he feels our confidence. »
