Tuesday's recovery session at La Turbie began with medical assessments that highlighted the physical toll of Sunday's victory in Paris. The intensity of facing PSG had left several players with minor injuries that required careful management before the next match.
Evra's calf tightness had worsened during the game, as his overlapping runs in the final thirty minutes pushed his tired muscles beyond their limits. Michel focused on improving the left-back's flexibility while monitoring inflammation levels that could impact his availability.
"Forty-eight hours of careful management," the medical chief informed Yves as they reviewed the assessment reports. "Nothing serious, but we want to prevent a minor issue from becoming a major problem."
