As for Zaire Emery, a follow up report claimed that it's a minor thigh injury which the versatile academy product picked up in the win over Marseille at the weekend. He played until the end of the game, but clearly had felt something in the intense win over their rivals.

PSG will monitor the youngster's recovery – and are probably secretly pretty delighted he will get three weeks off to recover rather than potentially playing multiple games for France in this period.
Meanwhile Akliouche, who remains a squad player for Luis Enrique, gets a chance to play more minutes and to impress Zidane in the Nations League games to come.
Perhaps everyone wins in this situation?
