Option for Champions League final
Pacho (thigh) returned to full team training Tuesday and will be an option for Saturday's Champions League final against Arsenal, the club posted.
Analysis: Pacho had been limited to individual sessions during the final weeks of the league campaign after a right thigh discomfort kept him out of three consecutive fixtures, but his progression to full collective training is a significant boost for PSG heading into the biggest game of their season. The Ecuadorian center-back's availability gives coach Luis Enrique more defensive options for the Budapest showpiece, and Pacho will look to contribute decently against the Gunners before heading to the World Cup and be the main leader of the Ecuador team.
Back in individual training
Pacho (thigh) has returned to individual training but remains unavailable for Sunday's season finale against Paris FC, according to the club.
Analysis: Pacho has now missed three consecutive fixtures with a right thigh discomfort, and while his return to individual sessions is an encouraging step in his rehabilitation, he is clearly not yet ready to rejoin collective training and feature in competitive action. The focus for PSG is firmly on the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30, and the club will continue managing Pacho's recovery carefully to ensure he is fully fit for the most important fixture of the season.
