Concerns Arise Over PSG Players’ Physical Condition

L’Equipe sheds light on the physical condition of PSG players, raising questions about their fitness levels.

Is PSG in good physical shape? According to L’Equipe, the answer is no. The sports daily asserts that several opponents of PSG have been surprised to see the Parisians struggling in duels this season. This issue seems to have been ongoing for several seasons, but it appears to be gaining traction internally.

“This topic has been the subject of debates among players since the end of summer, especially among recruits, who were surprised by the lack of daily athletic work,” states L’Equipe, even after the arrival of Luis Enrique.

Several players are seeking a second wind as winter draws to a close. For instance, Manuel Ugarte has reportedly openly raised the issue internally, according to L’Equipe. However, this has not led to any changes.

Furthermore, several players honestly believe they are physically overwhelmed and unable to perform at their best in big matches. As a result, some members of the squad have decided to hire personal fitness trainers or engage in additional training sessions on the side.

“True to his habits, Luis Enrique aims to push his group to its maximum potential by managing playing time and involving as many players as possible in the rotation,” continues L’Equipe. However, there are no plans to change the pace of training sessions.
