On Wednesday, the Paris Saint-Germain-AC Milan UEFA Champions League contest will be the first of back-to-back matches. The capital club will travel to San Siro on Nov. 7. Nonetheless, the issue for the first-leg is the health concern over Warren Zaire-Emery.
Zaire-Emery suffered a left ankle injury while on international duty, causing him to miss the match against Strasbourg. As a result, the question is whether the teenager will be ready for the Champions League game against AC Milan.
Still, Le Parisien reports that PSG is confident about Zaire-Emery’s chances of being in the squad to face AC Milan on Wednesday, even though he trained solo on Monday.
🚨 Le PSG est CONFIANT quant aux chances de Warren Zaïre-Emery d’être présent dans le groupe pour affronter l’AC Milan mercredi – quand bien même il se soit entraîné en solo ce lundi. 🇫🇷⏳

While the midfielder could be in the squad, can he be ready to be in the starting 11 against the Serie A side? Despite his age, the Frenchman has become a vital player for the Ligue 1 side’s play in the midfield.
If he cannot start, it will be a significant blow for PSG as they seek to separate from AC Milan in Group F.
