The verdict fell for Ousmane Dembélé. As expected, the 28 -year -old French international, back in the Paris group to challenge the Inter Miami of Lionel Messi in the round of 16 clubs this Sunday (6 pm) in Atlanta, will start the game on the replacement bench.
Since he was injured in the quadriceps in the left thigh on June 5 during the semi-final of the League of Nations lost by the French team against Spain (5-4), Ousmane Dembélé has no longer replayed. The 2018 world champion lacked the first three PSG matches in the tournament, against Atlético, Botafogo and Seattle.
To start in attack, Luis Enrique therefore opted for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué and Bradely Barcola, set up for the first time in this club World Cup. For the rest, it is a great classic on the Parisian side.
Messi without surprise
Gianluigi Donnarumma will keep the cage, in front of him the usual defense, made up of Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho and Nuno Mendes. In the midfield, we find the Fabian RuiZ-Vitinha-Joao Neves trio.
On the inter Miami side, Lionel Messi is indeed a holder, just like Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez. As a reminder, this is the first time since he left PSG two years ago that the Costle Argentinian Golden Ball has found the capital's club.
Official team compositions:
PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Joao Neves – Kvaratskhelia, Doué, Barcola
Inter Miami: Ustari – Weigandt, Falcon, Allen, Alba – Alba, Redondo, Busquets, Segovia – Messi, Suarez
