The Paris Saint-Germain winger was substituted after just 27 minutes in the city derby against FC Paris, with coach Luis Enrique later clarifying it was primarily due to fatigue.

The 2025 Ballon d'Or winner showed no signs of limping when leaving the pitch, and according to AFP, had no mobility issues after the match. The former Barcelona player has faced several health concerns this season, particularly with his thigh and calf.

Meanwhile, defender Achraf Hakimi resumed individual training on Saturday after a thigh issue, as did Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, and Lucas Chevalier. All three were unavailable for Sunday's game.

PSG secured their fifth consecutive French title and a record-breaking fourteenth overall last Wednesday, defeating their closest rivals Racing Lens 2-0 away from home.
