The clash of the 13th day of Ligue 1 between PSG and Monaco is marked by several notable absences.
The moment of truth has come for PSG. The capital club faces a decisive week between hosting Monaco this Friday in the opening match of the 13e day of Ligue 1 and that, even more crucial, of Newcastle, next Tuesday, in the Champions League. Two shocks that the capital club will have to play without two new players, Warren Zaire-Emery and Marquinhos. And this while the French champions are already deprived of Nuno Mendes and Presnel Kimpembe.
The choice is drastically restricted in defense for Luis Enrique, who should align a Danilo Pereira-Milan Skriniar hinge, surrounded by Achraf Hakimi and Lucas Hernandez. In the midfield Manuel Ugarte and Fabian Ruiz should form a pair while Vitinha will again play a step higher, on the left side. For the rest, Randal Kolo Muani should accompany Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé officer on the right side
The probable composition of PSG
Donnarumma – Hakimi, Danilo Pereira, Skriniar, L. Hernandez – Ugarte, Ruiz – Dembélé, Kolo Muani, Mbappé, Vitinha.
Among the visitors, Youssouf Fofana, suspended, will be missing along with Caio Henrique, Myran Boadu and Breel Embolo. Vanderson, however, should make his return.
The probable line-up of Monaco
Kohn – Singo, Maripan, Magassa – Vanderson, Camara, Zakaria, Jakobs – Akliouche, Golovin – Ben Yedder
