Vitinha and Hakimi Train Normally With PSG and Aim for the Champions League Semifinals

PSG regains key players before facing Bayern: Vitinha returned after a heel injury, Hakimi and Nuno Mendes trained normally

Normality at the training camp

Paris Saint-Germain faces the first leg of the Champions League semifinals against Bayern Munich with optimism. In Monday's practice, open to the press for fifteen minutes at the club's sports city, the entire squad was seen working under the watchful eye of sports advisor Luis Campos and president Nasser al-Khelaïfi. Among the main figures of the day were Vitinha, Achraf Hakimi, and Nuno Mendes, who had been dealing with physical discomfort in recent days.

Players that were highlighted

Vitinha, the Portuguese midfielder, had suffered an inflammation in his right heel during the match against Olympique de Lyon last week. That injury kept him out of the matches against Nantes and Angers. However, this Monday he participated in the initial warm-up exercise, an encouraging sign for Luis Enrique ahead of the European clash.

Hakimi also trained normally. The Moroccan full-back had been substituted at halftime of the match against Angers (3-0), visibly fatigued after a long sprint. His presence in the session clears up doubts about his physical condition and positions him as an available option for the Spanish coach.

The third important return was that of Nuno Mendes. The Portuguese defender was coming back from a thigh muscle injury and barely played twenty minutes on Saturday nite in Angers. This Monday, he was seen integrated into the group, confirming his progressive recovery and expanding PSG's defensive options.

The near future of PSG

Despite these minor ailments, the outlook is favorable for Luis Enrique. The coach should have his entire squad available for the first leg of the semifinal against Bayern. The recovery of key players like Vitinha, Hakimi, and Mendes strengthens the confidence of the Parisian team at a crucial moment of the season.

PSG arrives with the expectation of making full use of their squad in a highly demanding matchup. The return of players who had been doubtful represents a relief for the coaching staff and a sign that the French team will seek to face Bayern with all their weapons. The match promises intensity and tension from the first minute, with a PSG that is regaining key players just in time for one of the most important matches of the year.
