Team newspaper: Paris continues to rest systematically this season, and many domestic competitions are rotating significantly

Hupu September 1st News The French Media Newspaper reporter team wrote a Paris Saint-Germain column.

Sunny Mayuru (additive muscle), Kvaratshelia (thigh), and now Ottoman Dembele, who suffered a thigh injury in his 6-3 away win over Toulouse on Saturday.

Paris Saint-Germain had some muscle problems at the beginning of the season. So far, these early warnings echo a hot topic that the club has discussed and paid attention to since the league restarted on August 6: How to avoid injuries?

The Club World Cup has just passed, and the World Cup (June 11 to July 19, 2026) is coming, and most members of the team believe this is a major challenge. Meanwhile, Marginhos and his teammates only enjoyed a three-week vacation, so people think it's too short.

It is worth mentioning that most of them only take 10 to 15 days off and then start warming up with their personal trainers. So, just six days after they returned to Poissi base, the UEFA Super Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur (2-2, 4-3 penalty kicks) was like a cruel test for them without adequate preparation.

Enrique and his coaching staff are also worried about this, and they hope to plan ahead as they did a year ago. For example, last season coach decided to schedule rest time throughout the season.

He repeatedly gives some particularly busy players a weekend break, and Paris is expected to undergo systematic and substantial rotation this season.

This concern has also had an impact on another level: Louis Enrique rejected several potential players this summer. Someone explained to the players that the Spaniard wanted a large enough squad to continue his rotation and that he didn't have enough room to get anyone out (except those players he didn't expect).

As for other aspects, the Paris management intends to continue its usual cautious attitude since last fall: listen to the players' feelings and avoid risk or hasty re-entering players, as some teams have done recently.
