PSG's pre-season preparations at the Campus PSG continue in full swing as they gear up for the upcoming friendly matches in early August.

For the past two weeks, head coach Luis Enrique has been working with a reduced squad, awaiting the return of international players who participated in the Euro and Copa America tournaments this summer. This period has allowed Enrique to closely monitor the progress of several young talents, including Ayman Kari, Joane Gadou, and Ibrahima Mbaye.

Yoram Zague's rapid return boosts PSG's Pre-Season hopes

One of the promising young players in focus is 18-year-old Yoram Zague. Zague managed to get some game time with the first team towards the end of last season and is seen as a strong candidate to serve as a backup for established stars Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes.

However, Zague’s pre-season preparations hit an unexpected snag when he suffered a malaria attack on July 20th. The illness forced him to pause training and take a mandatory rest period at home for about ten days.

Despite this setback, Yoram Zague quickly returned to the training center this past Saturday. The club’s official website shared photos from the day’s training session, revealing Zague working out in the gym. This early comeback is an encouraging sign for both the player and the coaching staff. While it's still uncertain when he will be fully fit to join his teammates on the training field, his presence at the gym indicates a positive trajectory in his recovery process.

The speedy return of Zague to the training facility underscores his determination and professionalism. It’s a testament to his resilience and commitment to the team. His ability to bounce back swiftly from such a health crisis could be pivotal for PSG, as they look to utilize his skills and versatility in the upcoming season.
