Sergio Ramos is currently aware that he cannot play three games a week. The Andalusian center-back reappeared last Sunday five months later to make his debut for PSG against Saint-Étienne, but on Wednesday Pochettino decided not to call him up against Nice (0-0) after finishing the match against Les Verts exhausted. The coach acknowledged at a press conference that Ramos was very tired after playing the 90 minutes again, so he chose to give him rest to have him ready on Saturday against Lens.
PSG wants to go slow with Ramos. There is no need to force you right now. The Parisians are comfortably leaders in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League they will be second in the group whatever they do against Bruges. The goal is for him to be 100% physically in February, the month in which the eighth of the European Cup are played and in which PSG needs the best Ramos to dream of winning the first Champions League in its history.
The reality, at the moment, is that Ramos is not even close to the physical level he showed at Real Madrid during the last five years (not counting his last season marked by injuries). The one before was a player with exuberant physical conditions and the one from now is a center-back who needs time to get into physical form. We must also influence the philosophy of Pochettino with the injured. The Argentine does not want to lose Ramos another day and has chosen to be cautious with the camero, whom he considers a key piece in his schemes and he made it known on Sunday, giving him the title over Kimpembe, a player of total confidence for both the coach and PSG.
A priori, Sergio Ramos should start on Saturday in one of the most demanding games that PSG has left to play until the end of the year. He will play in Lens, a team that is third in Ligue 1 and that won the season against the Parisians on the first day of Ligue 1. On Tuesday, against Bruges in the Champions League, the Spanish international could debut in the top competition continental, as long as the PSG medical staff give Pochettino the green light.
Ramos does not train with PSG one day away from playing against Lens
In the first 15 minutes that the Parisian team has shown training, the camero was not at Camp des Loges. Yesterday he trained normally.
Sergio Ramos was absent from the Camp des Loges pitch today in PSG’s final training session before facing Lens in northern France tomorrow. The camero, who did not play on Wednesday against Nice for rest, has not been present in the 15 minutes of training that the Parisian team has left to the press in the preview of the meeting this Saturday.
Although at the moment there is no news about it, everything indicates that Ramos has been able to catch him in the gym. The Andalusian center-back trained normally yesterday and neither PSG nor any French media has reported a possible relapse of the player to the soleus. The goal was for him to play the 90 minutes tomorrow and be tested against Brugge on Tuesday in the Champions League.
Ramos made his debut for PSG last week against Saint-Étienne after spending five months in dry dock. Pochettino made the decision not to summon him to play on Wednesday against Nice after assuring at a press conference that he had finished Sunday’s game very tired and, for now, his presence tomorrow against Lens is in doubt. At 2 pm the Argentine coach will speak to reveal news regarding the Spanish international.
