Lee Kang-in has been excluded from the Champions League list. It is the opposite of the prediction that he is likely to play due to a minor injury. Lee Kang-in's team, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), will play Atalanta in the first round of the UEFA Champions League phase at 4 a.m. on the 18th (Korea time).
British Give Me Sports expected Lee Kang-in to be excluded from the list in the match between PSG and Atalanta on the 17th. The starting line-ups expected by the media were Shevalier, Hakimi, Marquiños, Pacho, Mendes, Vitinha, João Neves, Luis, Kvaratshelia, Ramos, and Barcola. Lee Kang-in predicted that he would not be able to sit on the bench.
The media explained that `Usman Dembele and Desiree Due will miss at least the next A-match break' and"Lee Kang-in, Kvaratshelia and Beraldu were injured in weekend games and it is unclear whether they will play or not.'
Luis Enrique started the season in a good mood with a UEFA Super Cup win and is off to a good start with a 2-0 win over Langs recently. The problem is injury. PSG are suffering from a number of injury problems as their players barely get a break due to their tight summer schedule.
In a press conference ahead of the game, Enrique said "The team is ready. It wasn't a bit smooth in ball possession in the first week of the season, but it was a normal process and our players quickly regained their original senses"I confirmed this through training and playing, and now I'm training at a very high level."
"Atalanta will be difficult to predict their style of play because their coach has changed this summer," Enrique said. "But as in previous years, they are still a difficult team with strong pressure and excellent ball possession ability."
Finally, he added "It's always difficult to play against the Italian team. We need to adapt to our opponent's style, but that's one of the things we're good at. "The key to tomorrow's game is how well we can show that adaptability."
With limited attacking options, it is hopeful that Kvaratshelia will be able to play. Lee Kang-in is also likely to play as it is known that his injuries are not significant due to simple bruises. Contrary to the media's expectations, the possibility of a surprise selection is also open.
