14 internationals off on duty
No less than 14 Paris Saint-Germain players jet off to join their national teams across the world this week. Here is their schedule:
The international teams take part in their first outing of the 2012-13 season. While several senior players are setting off around the world, Alphonse Areola (France U20) and Adrien Rabiot (France U19) are taking part in training camps with no matches.
France players Christophe Jallet, Mamadou Sakho and Blaise Matuidi will be up against Uruguay, captained by their clubmate Diego Lugano in Le Havre, while new signings Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva face off in Stockholm, in a match that also features future Rouge et Bleu player Lucas. Christophe Jallet and Marco Verratti could earn their first international caps, while Mamadou Sakho makes his return to Les Bleus.
