It is about three months after its initial date that the final of the Coupe de France between PSG and AS Saint-Etienne will take place, namely Friday July 24. It will most certainly be at the Stade de France even if the Greens’ coach did not confirm the location this Wednesday at a press conference: “This final will take place on July 24, it’s an official date, confirmed. “ According to our information, the other final, that of the League Cup against Olympique Lyonnais, will take place a week later as mentioned for several weeks by the French press. The date of Friday July 31 will be formalized Friday by the LFP.
Two players suspended from the Greens, end of contract to manage
For this decisive deadline, which will mark the official return to competition on French soil, Claude Puel, the Greens’ coach, cannot count on a whole group. The Forez coach said during his press briefing that his experienced defender Timothée Kolodziejczak (28) and his young midfielder Mahdi Camara (21) would be suspended against PSG.
ASSE will also have to manage the case of its players arriving at the end of the contract on June 30, in less than a week: “Loïc Perrin is with us and may have this possibility of extending. We proposed to Yohan Cabaye, we await the answer. William Saliba (on loan from Arsenal until June 30) returns with pleasure to share some training with us. We will see if there is the possibility of “more if affinities”, as we say “, explained Puel on this subject, the cited players are not yet sure of being present against the Parisian club.
At PSG, if Thomas Meunier, Edinson Cavani, Tanguy Kouassi or Adil Aouchiche have decided to leave on June 30, Thiago Silva, Layvin Kurzawa, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Sergio Rico will sign a temporary contract extension here at the weekend and will therefore be available and qualified to face Saint-Etienne on July 24 in the Coupe de France final.
