PSG coach Luis Enrique is giving seven players a five-day break. The players include Portuguese duo Nuno Mendes and Vitinha.
The break is meant to help the players rest and recharge.
Who’s Getting a Break
The players getting time off are:
- Nuno Mendes
- Vitinha
- Donnarumma
- Achraf Hakimi
- Marquinhos
- Willian Pacho
- Fabián Ruiz
They will return to training on Wednesday.
Enrique explained that being a footballer has its downsides. Players often can’t spend time with family and friends.
Vitinha, for example, recently became a father for the second time.
The break will allow them to focus on other things.
Enrique emphasized that the players need to be competitive during training. This mental preparation is key to performing well in big games.
He joked that it applies to both football matches and casual games with friends.
