MHSC: without left-back Issiaga Sylla, but with the return of Wahbi Khazri to challenge PSG on Friday evening

Issiaga Sylla will again miss the call against PSG. – JEAN MICHEL MART

Absent for the season opener against Strasbourg (1-1), Issiaga Sylla will be unavailable for the first trip of the season, Friday (8:45 p.m.) to Paris, during the opening match of the second day of Ligue 1.

Issiaga Sylla is suffering from a “small tear” in a thigh. He was injured last week during training in La Mosson. The Guinean international (30 years old) is preparing to miss the first three matches of the season. He is in fact already out of the match against Nantes, Saturday August 30 (7 p.m.) at La Mosson and will take advantage of the international break to heal his injury.

Khazri's return

His injury comes at a bad time because the two other left-backs, Lucas Mincarelli (knee) and Théo Sainte-Luce (thigh), are also convalescing. The first should resume training at the beginning of next week alongside midfielder Khalil Fayad, one of the three other injured players.
