This Sunday evening, at 8:45 p.m., Paris Saint-Germain welcomes AS Saint-Etienne for the closing match of the 17th day of Ligue 1. The capital club will be able to regain its seven-point lead over the Olympique de Marseille in the event of victory against the Greens. For this meeting at the Parc des Princes, Luis Enrique called a group of 21 players.

Captain Marquinhos is not in this one due to injury. Randal Kolo Muani and Milan Skriniar are not among them either. The French striker and the Slovak defender are clearly on the move during this winter transfer window. Several clubs are interested in the former Nantes player, such as Juventus Turin, AC Milan, Tottenham and Manchester United according to RMC Sport. As for the second undesirable, he could serve as a bargaining chip with Napoli in the case of Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Marco Asensio, whose playing time has melted like snow in the sun in recent weeks, is included in the Ile-de-France group.
“My decisions say what I think about a player at a given moment. I make my decisions based on what I see in the session,” the PSG coach explained about him on Saturday at a press conference.
