Paris Saint-Germain welcomes OGC Nice for the 5th day of Ligue 1, this Friday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the capital club.
It is with full confidence but with slightly broken legs that the Parisians return to action in Ligue 1, this Friday, against Nice, for an enticing display at the opening of the 5th day. Anecdotal runner-up to AS Monaco in the standings, the reigning champion has the opportunity to temporarily take control of Ligue 1. To do this, it will be necessary to tame a Nice team still in progress, which is currently in 8th place.
Before the truce, Kylian Mbappé had put the church back in the middle of the village. Highly anticipated after the summer soap opera that he hosted all summer, the French world champion made his return to competition, with 5 goals scored for his first 3 appearances, including 2 resounding doubles against Lens (3-1 ) and Lyon (4-1). But the 2018 world champion was spared by Didier Deschamps during the Blues’ second match, in Germany (1-2 defeat). Ares a reassuring clinical examination carried out today at the level of the patellar tendon“, the Parisian striker took part in training the day before the match on Thursday.
Will Luis Enrique take the risk of starting him, at the dawn of a very busy week with the receptions of Dortmund and Marseille after this match against Nice? The PSG coach delivered a first clue at a press conference. “For us, there is only one match, Nice. The objective is to recover international players. We only trained together once. The future does not exist, only the present exists.”
What is certain is that Luis Enrique will have to do without the Spaniards Marco Asensio and Fabian Ruiz, both of whom are out of this meeting. Gonçalo Ramos will have playing time, while Randal Kolo Muani should play his first minutes in the red and blue jersey. There will be fewer surprises in the defensive line.
The expected composition of PSG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Pereira (c), Skriniar, Hernandez – Soler, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery – Kolo Muani, Ramos, Mbappé.
