Maghnes Akliouche
PSG
Trains in full Monday
Akliouche was spotted participating fully in Paris Saint-Germain's team training session Monday after suffering a left ankle injury during Saturday's Ligue 1 clash against Strasbourg, suggesting he could be available for Tuesday's Champions League encounter against Barcelona, the club posted.
Analysis: Akliouche appears to have avoided a significant injury after experiencing a left ankle problem during Saturday's match against Strasbourg, in which he played the full 90 minutes. The winger was initially scheduled to undergo medical examinations to determine the severity of the issue, raising concerns about his availability for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Barcelona. However, his participation in Monday's full training session suggests he has recovered sufficiently to remain in contention for selection. Akliouche has recorded two goals and one assist in nine appearances across all competitions this season, establishing himself as a regular option in PSG's attacking rotation. His return to training provides a timely boost ahead of the European fixture, although his involvement will ultimately depend on the coaching staff's final assessment of his fitness.
Suffers left ankle injury
Akliouche has a left ankle injury and will undergo tests in the next few hours, according to Arthur Perrot of RMC Sport.
Analysis: Akliouche suffered the injury in Saturday's match against Strasbourg despite playing the full 90 minutes. The forward's status is worth monitoring since PSG will play FC Barcelona on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League. The winger has two goals and one assist across all competitions this season, but PSG have enough attacking depth to deal with his potential absence in case he needs a spell on the sidelines.
Decent appearance off bench
Akliouche generated one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Monday's 3-0 win over Iraq.
Analysis: Akliouche checked into Monday's 3-0 win over Iraq in the closing minutes, replacing Bradley Barcola alongside Malo Gusto as manager Didier Deschamps rotated his squad with the result already well in hand.

Akliouche and France will now shift their focus to a Group I showdown with Norway on June 26, with first place in the group up for grabs.
