Kylian Mbappé a doubt for Lille game through ENT infection

Click:motorcycle helmet

Paris Saint-Germain have this afternoon released a roundup of the club’s injury list, notably indicating that striker Kylian Mbappé is a doubt for next weekend’s match against Lille due to an ENT infection. 

While a further assessment will take place in 48 hours for the Frenchman, midfielder Marco Verratti will be sidelined for an estimated four weeks after picking up a left hip injury in the 0-0 draw against Marseille on Sunday night.

Meanwhile, defender Sergio Ramos continues to train separately, although the club states that a return to full training with the rest of the team could take place next week. Leandro Paredes is expected to recover from his injury after the next international break.

PSG face last season’s champions Lille on Friday night for the opening game of Matchday 12 of the Ligue 1 season.

CAS hearing in litigation between Nantes and Cardiff over Emiliano Sala set for March

L’Équipe report that the hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport over the litigation between Nantes and Cardiff concerning the transfer of Emiliano Sala has been set for March 3 and 4.

The two clubs are involved in a legal dispute over the payment of the late Argentinian striker’s €17m transfer fee for his 2019 transfer. While on his way to Cardiff, Sala’s plane fell over the English Channel, with neither him nor the pilot, David Ibbotson, surviving.

The trial of David Henderson, the man suspected of organising the flight, began this week in Cardiff. Today, the first witnesses were set to be heard – Fay Keely, the owner of the plane, and David Smith, the mechanic in charge of the maintenance of the plane various times between December 2015 and November 2018.

Sentences for Le Classique crowd trouble range from fines to prison sentences

La Provence report today that various sentences have been handed down to the 21 individuals arrested for their involvement in the crowd trouble that marred last Sunday’s Classique between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain.

Although OM supporters had been warned against misbehaving as a result of the suspended point deduction hanging over the club’s head, a select few nevertheless caused trouble, notably by attempting to force their way through the stadium gates.

14 of those arrested were given the chance to plead guilty straight away, with the judge approving of sentences ranging from fines to five-month suspended prison sentences. All of those charged were given a one-year stadium ban, and will need to present themselves at the police station before every Marseille game.

Other supporters who had been found in possession of flares were given daily fines, along with similar stadium ban obligations.

One man, a 41-year-old with previous offences, appeared in court over charges of “insult and rebellion”. He was eventually sentenced to a six-month spell in prison, which could be served with an electronic tag from home, for only the “rebellion” charge, along with the stadium ban. The individual in question had been found climbing the stadium gates.

20 Minutes report this afternoon that the Paris Saint-Germain player who was robbed of his phone and wallet by a prostitute last night is midfielder Ander Herrera.

The Spaniard was driving through the Bois de Boulogne – a public forest in the west of the city – when he saw his personal items stolen. 20 Minutes‘ source indicates that there was no violence involved in the incident, but instead a simple robbery.

The suspect is said to have offered to give him his phone back in exchange for dropping her off in another location. In total, €200 were reportedly stolen from the midfielder, who reserves the right to lodge a complaint.

L’Équipe add that Herrera has today lodged a formal complaint to the authorities following the incidents. The former Manchester United man was in training today with his club, who have declined to comment to L’Équipe.

Ligue 1 Team Of The Week | Matchday 11, 2021/22

GK, Pau López (Marseille) – The Spanish keeper made two crucial saves in the first half to preserve his clean sheet in the 0-0 draw with PSG, one from a point blank Messi header and another double intervention from an Mbappé cross and the resulting Neymar follow up.

RB, Youcef Atal (OGC Nice) – Left out by Galtier, Atal played as if he had something to prove off the bench in Nice’s comeback win over Lyon and showed pace and intensity not seen since before his injuries. It was his cut inside and powerful effort that made it 1-2 before he won the penalty for 2-2 and initiated the attack that resulted in the winner.

CB, William Saliba (Marseille) – Quietly excellent in his use of the ball and decision making in deeper areas against PSG before his crucial late tackle on Mbappé, who was clean through and likely to win the game, to save OM’s point.

CB, Duje Ćaleta-Car (Marseille) – The Croatian made a number of key interventions throughout the 0-0 with Paris, including a crucial first half interception from a Verratti cross to Mbappé and a close range block from Mbappé on the counter in the second half.

LB, Caio Henrique (Monaco) – A constant threat and outlet on the left hand side for Monaco who eased past Montpellier and it was his one-two with Diop and cross that set up the opener for Volland before also having a hand in the third.

DM, Mattéo Guendouzi (Marseille) – Despite PSG having a lot of the ball, he marshalled the midfield resolutely throughout the 0-0 draw at the Velodrome and imposed himself on Danilo, Gueye and Verratti while barking orders at those around him. Often pinched the ball back in the press and used possession neatly.

CM, Seko Fofana (Lens) – An early Player of the Season candidate? Fofana again led a typically dynamic Lens in the 4-1 dispensing of a struggling Metz and maintained the club’s second place in Ligue 1.

AM, Wesley Saïd (Lens) – After a year out injured with Toulouse, Saïd’s form has been as feel-good as it has been impressive. Having snatched a winner off the bench at Marseille, it was he who reacted quickest to put Lens ahead twice in a 4-1 win over Metz, providing the cutting edge other RCL forwards have lacked at times this season.

WF, Wahbi Khazri (ASSE) – Much like his club, his performances, and particularly his effort, have been more useful that Les Verts’ position suggests and it was his whipped free kick as part of another earnest display that helped their comeback to draw 2-2 with Angers.

WF, Karl Toko Ekambi (Lyon) – Again ran the show for Lyon, despite their eventual loss at Nice, as he continued some of the best form of his career and it was he who controlled Boateng’s long ball before following up his own effort for the opener.

ST, Kevin Volland (Monaco) – Lost Sakho to tap home the opener in a simple win over Montpellier and produced a superb dipping cross with the outside of his foot for Ben Yedder to head the second.

PLAYER RATINGS | Marseille 0-0 Metz, a thrilling goalless draw sees struggling Metz take deserved battling point

MARSEILLE – 0

Steve Mandanda, 7 – Back in the side after several weeks as second choice he made two crucial saves, a fingertip stop onto the post from Delaine and a block to stop Centonze who was put clean through late in the second half.

Pol Lirola, 4

William Saliba, 6 – Although it was hardly his fault as he was again exposed by Sampaoli’s lopsided system and struggled with Delaine’s keenness to run at him in the first half. However, he performed well after the break at right-back and might have had three assists for Milik had the Polish striker’s finishing been even remotely on point.

Duje Ćaleta-Car, 6

Luan Peres, 5

Mattéo Guendouzi, 5

Gerson, 3 – No effect again. It’s becoming clear that he lacks the gumption and ability to apply his talents in a more intense and pacey setting after failing at Roma but excelling in Brazil.

Luis Henrique, 3 – Anonymous. Routinely disappoints when thrown into the team and Sampaoli’s persistence with him has directly affected Konrad de la Fuente’s own development this season.

Cengiz Ünder, 5

Dimitri Payet, 6 – Unable to create as many openings as he would’ve liked but he came closest to scoring with a shot off the bar in the first half and produced the game’s highlight via a glorious chested pass on the run to set up a shot. A last ditch tackle late on as last man was key.

Arkadiusz Milik, 2 – A hapless display in front of goal. He scuffed a free shot wide in the first half, slipped at the key moment when bearing down on goal after the break, missed his kick with the goal open after Saliba’s cross and had a point blank header saved by Oukidja.

Others: Harit 5, Balerdi 5, Konrad 6, Dieng 5.

METZ – 0

Alexandre Oukidja, 6 – Made a key save from a close range Milik header and commanded his area well during a barrage of crosses late on.

Boubakar Kouyaté, 5 – Defender well overall but somehow blocked N’Doram’s goal bound shot on line and was ruled offside.

Dylan Bronn, 6

Jemerson, 4 – Not been the liability he was at the end of his Monaco career so far at Metz, that was until a missed attempted clearance and connected painfully with Payet’s knee, resulting in his sending off via VAR review.

Habib Maïga, 6

Kévin N’Doram, 5

Fabien Centonze, 6 – He should score when put clean through by Maïga as his touch let him down but a last ditch toe to the ball to stop Konrad from scoring was key and defended well throughout.

Thomas Delaine, 7 – A real dynamo on the left and his powerful running resulted in two efforts off the post before half time and he remained a threat throughout despite his side being a man down.

Farid Boulaya, 5

Nicolas de Préville, 5

Ibrahima Niane, 4

Others: Sarr 5, Udol 5, Pajot 5, Nguette 5, Gueye 5.

Aminata Diallo denies accusations related to Kheira Hamraoui attack

Click:my giftcardmall com mygift

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Aminata Diallo has, through her lawyer, denied the accusations made against her regarding the attack on teammate Kheira Hamraoui last week.

The statement, published via AFP, comes after Diallo was held in police custody for 35 hours after being arrested on Wednesday morning for a suspected link to the attack, which reportedly happened while she was at the wheel. Hamraoui had been dragged out of the car as the two were returning from a team dinner and struck on the legs by two masked men with an iron bar.

“Aminata Diallo deplores the perfectly artificial dramatisation of a rivalry between her and Kheira Hamraoui which would justify her taking it out on her teammate. This theory does not correspond in any way to the true nature of their relationship.”

“Other much more serious leads are now being looked at by investigators, which do not implicate my client in any way.”

“Aminata Diallo regrets the media uproar which had already sentenced her, with no basis, and she would like to emphasise that she will not hesitate to defend her rights through legal action, if necessary, against all defamation.”

Her lawyer has also added that the 26-year-old fully cooperated with authorities while in custody, answering without a lawyer. Diallo was released yesterday afternoon with no charges pressed against her.

PSG director Leonardo laments Lionel Messi leaving for Argentina duty

Speaking to Le Parisien, Paris Saint-Germain Director of Sport Leonardo has lamented the fact that both Lionel Messi and Leandro Paredes will leave for Argentina duty this week, despite being injured.

The six-time Ballon d’Or winner has been undergoing treatment for a knee and hamstring issue, while his compatriot has only just returned to training after recovering from a thigh injury.

The Argentina staff are looking to have the two players back to fitness for the match on November 17 against Brazil, although for the fixture against Uruguay four days earlier their appearance appears unlikely.

The Brazilian has complained that clubs are made to bend to the will of a country’s medical staff, having preferred that the two continue their treatment in Paris.

“We do not agree with letting a player leave for international duty who, for us, is not in physical condition or is at the recovery stage. It’s not logical, and these kinds of situations merit that we establish a rule with FIFA.”

PLAYER RATINGS | Brest 4-0 Lens, devastating Brest batter Lens in shock win

BREST – 4 (Mounie 3, Chardonnet 13, Faivre 33, Le Douaron 69)

Marco Bizot, 6

Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel, 5

Christophe Hérelle, 6 – His return from long injury issues has unsurprisingly coincided with Brest’s improved form in recent games and it was his pivotal last ditch sliding goal line block that halted Frankowski’s shot at 1-0.

Brendan Chardonnet, 6 – He’s grown into a real leader for Brest in recent times and added the second here via his back from Faivre’s corner.

Jean-Kévin Duverne, 5

Haris Belkebla, 6

Lucien Agoume, 6

Jérémy Le Douaron, 7 – Brest’s scouting of Le Douaron has been a key plot line in their recent success. Picked up from third tier Stade Briochin with no major experience in 2020, he’s looked lively and inventive when given the chance and it was his cross that assisted the opener here. Held off Danso to smash home a fourth too.

Romain Faivre, 7 – Not decisive often enough this year but he certainly was here. It was his whipped corner that assisted Chardonnet’s second before he beautifully shaped a third from the edge of the area.

Franck Honorat, 7 – Perhaps lacked tangible output here given how impressive Brest where in dismantling Lens before half time, even if his simple pass setup Faivre’s third, but his interplay, pass picking and drive from his flank propelled Brest forward once more. Many talk more about Favire, but Honorat is Brest’s true key man. Although he should score when clean through in the second half.

Steve Mounie, 6 – Not the most prolific during his Brest stay but he provides a useful focal point for a lively attacking midfield trio and his clever stooped header made it 1-0 here.

Others: Del Castillo 5, Brassier 5, Cardona 5.

LENS – 0

Jean-Louis Leca, 5

Jonathan Gradit, 4

Kevin Danso, 3

Facundo Medina, 2 – Traditionally a weak link in Lens’ side and so it proved again here. His defending is often madcap and reckless and he is far too easily flustered and forced into making a poor decision.

Cheick Doucouré, 3

Seko Fofana, 5 – Improved after half time where he was a threat, hitting the post as he started to exert his influence but lacked the fire in his eyes seen during the rest of 2021 before the break and was party to some static defensive work.

Przemysław Frankowski, 4

Jonathan Clauss, 3

Gaël Kakuta, 3

Click Here:

Corentin Jean, 3

Ignatius Ganago, 4 – His movement was troublesome but he should’ve scored twice, once via a side footed finish at the near post from Jean’s cross and then as his toe-poke hit the post before half time.

Others: Kalimuendo 2, Da Costa 5, Haidara 5, Boli 5.

PLAYER RATINGS | PSG 3-1 Nantes, despite a much improved first half, Paris again get lucky with OG

Click:cnc turning

PSG – 3 (Mbappé 2, Appiah OG 81, Messi 87)

Keylor Navas, 2– Had very little to do until he wildly charged off his line just after the hour to recklessly foul Blas as he ran through, resulting in the goalkeepers’ dismissal.

Achraf Hakimi, 6

Thilo Kehrer, 6 – Maybe could have reacted faster to Blas’ run that resulted in the red card but was relatively solid overall by his weak standards and made one superb flying block on a goal bound Kolo-Muani shot at 1-0.

Click Here:

Abdou Diallo, 5

Juan Bernat, 5

Leandro Paredes, 5

Marco Verratti, 5

Idrissa Gueye, 6

Neymar, 7 – Faded after half time and was eventually subbed but enjoyed a riotous first half in full showman mode with some delightful passing, link-up and deft flicks around the box.

Kylian Mbappé, 7 – If he truly meant to flick Paredes’ early shot home, it’s an outrageous piece of skill and he showed flashes of that brilliance throughout, especially in linking with Messi and Neymar before the break. Could have perhaps directly affected the game more overall, however, and only just makes 7.

Lionel Messi, 8 – Not quite classic Messi, but not far off. Were it not for two stunning Lafont saves he would have had a hat-trick but he finally won the battle with a silky run and shaped finish late on. His display was reminiscent of those he produced in La Liga on a weekly basis for Barcelona – effortless brilliance.

Others: Rico 6, Danilo 5, Wijnaldum 5.

NANTES – 1 (Kolo-Muani 76)

Alban Lafont, 8 – PSG would have been out of sight by the time Nantes equalised were it not for four superb first half saves from Lafont, one from each of the front three plus a world class right fist to stop Messi who found himself clean through early on. A second half intervention on a Hakimi cross to prevent a certain Messi goal also stood out.

Sébastien Corchia, 4

Jean-Charles Castelletto, 5

Andrei Girotto, 4

Fábio Da Silva, 4

Samuel Moutoussamy, 6 – He’s long been an underrated player at the club and was loaned out last season but has returned with a calmness and maturity not seen before in France and here he used the ball neatly when given the chance and got through substantial midfield work.

Pedro Chirivella, 5

Ludovic Blas, 5

Marcus Coco, 5

Randal Kolo-Muani, 6 – After a glorious start to the season his form has fluctuated of late and both versions of Kolo-Muani were on display here. He did brilliantly to react to his header being saved by Rico to confidently backheel home but also woefully missed his kick as ball fell too him in the area soon after. Overall, however, he was central to Nantes’ second half mini-revival.

Kalifa Coulibaly, 4

Others: Appiah 5, Bukari 5, Merlin 5, Geubbels 5, Cyprien 5.
