The composition of PSG against Osaka, Neymar and Verratti on the bench

This Friday, Paris Saint-Germain continue their preparation with a clash against Japanese club Osaka.

After a draw against Al-Nassr (0-0), Paris Saint-Germain continue their preparation and their Asian tour with a match against Cerezo Osaka this Friday. This match will be Marquinhos’ first as a starter since the start of the pre-season, the Brazilian defender regains his captain’s armband and will line up alongside Milan Skriniar in defense to defend the goal kept by Gianluigi Donnarumma. Note the tenure of Layvin Kurzawa, probably in the left lane.

First minutes for Neymar?

In the middle, Marco Verratti, who is close to leaving for Saudi Arabia, does not start the game. Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery, Ismaël Gharbi and Manuel Ugarte are holders, it remains to be seen in what scheme. In front, Hugo Ekitike and Marco Asensio will be associated. Neymar will start the game on the bench but could finally play his first minutes since his ankle injury in February.
