PSG without Neymar and Verratti against Lorient?

Paris Saint-Germain is set to face Lorient at Parc des Princes in the opening match of the 2023-2024 Ligue 1 season on Saturday. According to RMC Sport, Verratti and Neymar are uncertain for the match.

Tuesday brought uncertainty for PSG. Neymar and Marco Verratti were absent from training, as reported by RMC Sport. During the training session the previous day, Neymar suffered an injury near his groin area. No risks will be taken with Neymar, who is returning from surgery and has been absent for a few months.

As for Verratti, RMC Sport did not provide any explanation. However, France Bleu has the answer.

According to this source, neither player has sustained an injury. Instead, both Marco Verratti and Neymar have been affected by a virus, which is why they did not participate in the training session. They are expected to return to training on Wednesday.
