Paris Saint-Germain wants to follow up. Large winner of the Atalanta Bergame (4-0) for its entry into the running, the capital's club is now preparing to challenge FC Barcelona near Montjuïc. For this second day of the League of the Champîons League phase, Luis Enrique and its staff will however have to compose without several executives. Already deprived of Ousmane Dembélé (right ischios), Marquinhos (left quadriceps) and Désiré Doué, still in rehabilitation after his calf injury, the Parisian technician should therefore innovate, especially in the attacking sector.
Imperial since his arrival in Paris – if we forget this missed outing at the Orange Vélodrome – Lucas Chevalier is logically expected in Parisian goals. To protect the former Lille porter, Luis Enrique should opt for an almost type defense with Achraf Hakimi, Willian Pacho, Illia Zabarnyi, scorer against Auxerre and announced successor of Marquinhos, but also Nuno Mendes, brilliant against the DEA. However, some uncertainties reign in the midfield …
Mayulu at the forefront, Neves and Vitinha back?
Replaced from the 36th minute of play against AJA, Vitinha is not yet fully assured of being able to hold her place. If Luis Enrique, for his part, indicated that it was not a serious injury, but a precaution to preserve the player before the Champions League match, the Portuguese will still have to wait for the last exams carried out on Monday. At this stage, The Parisian Specifies, for its part, that the news is not frankly alarming and that the 25 -year -old nugget should be able to start this shock.
By his side, Fabián Ruiz, spared against Auxerre, and João Neves, recently touched by the left ischios, are also expected to integrate the starting eleven. A participation which will however be subject to the charge that they will be able to bear in the next two sessions. In the event of physical seeds, Warren Zaïre-Emery or Kang-in Lee could represent credible options. Finally, if the animation of the Parisian midfield is not yet completely ratified, the biggest questions concern the attack.
Already hit in the calf before the match against Atalanta, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia this time felt pain on the back of the left thigh and was replaced at the break by Barcola. More than ever uncertain for the trip to Barcelona, the Georgian could give way to the old Crack of OL. To accompany him, Senny Mayulu could be preferred to him in Gonçalo Ramos to occupy the tip while Kang -in Lee – or a repositioning of the side like Nuno Mendes – are alternatives envisaged to feed the left corridor of the Parisian attack.
