After a long absence due to knee surgery, Nasser al-Khelaïfi, president of Paris Saint-Germain, RMC Sport informs that he will make his return to the Parc des Princes this evening. He will attend the crucial Champions League match between PSG and Newcastle. Al-Khelaïfi, away from the field for several months, will mark his presence to support the team.
He will finally be present to encourage his players in a decisive match for qualification for the round of 8. NAK is expected at the Poissy training center on Monday, where he will attend the pre-match preparation session, a routine he usually follows.
The reason for the prolonged absence of Nasser al-Khelaïfi: he suffered a cruciate ligament rupture last October. This incident occurred during a match of padel in Doha, where he played alongside Marco Verratti, the former PSG midfielder sold to Al-Arabi SC in Qatar. Al-Khelaïfi, passionate about tennis and involved in the development of a world circuit of padel, was injured on October 7 while playing with his former player.
PSG, currently second in Group F with six points, and aiming for the Champions League, faces Newcastle in a match where victory is imperative to maintain its chances of progressing in the competition.
