Willian Pacho
PSG
Back in individual training
Pacho (thigh) has returned to individual training but remains unavailable for Sunday's season finale against Paris FC, according to the club.
Analysis: Pacho has now missed three consecutive fixtures with a right thigh discomfort, and while his return to individual sessions is an encouraging step in his rehabilitation, he is clearly not yet ready to rejoin collective training and feature in competitive action. The focus for PSG is firmly on the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30, and the club will continue managing Pacho's recovery carefully to ensure he is fully fit for the most important fixture of the season.
Still in treatment
Pacho continues to receive treatment for his right thigh discomfort and will miss Wednesday's clash against Lens, according to the club.
Analysis: Pacho had already been ruled out of Sunday's clash against Brest as a precaution, and his continued treatment confirms he is not yet ready to return to action. Lucas Beraldo is expected to continue in a larger role in the back line, with PSG managing their squad carefully ahead of the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30 as the absolute priority for the club.

Lucas Beraldo is expected to take on a larger role in the back line during his absence, with the club prioritizing having their key defensive pieces fully fit for the most important fixture of their season.
