Ligue 1 resumes this evening after the October international break. The French championship is back on track with an enticing matchup between PSG, leader, and Strasbourg, 3rd, 1 point behind the European champion (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.). Held in check in Lille 15 days ago (1-1), the Parisians face a team which is struggling for the moment against the top 5 (defeats against Monaco and OM).
The infirmary is gradually emptying for Luis Enrique's men, who are notably recovering Désiré Doué this evening, already a starter, almost a month and a half after his calf injury. Bradley Barcola, packaged with the France team, holds his place well on the left wing of the Spanish coach's 4-3-3, who fields a fairly reshuffled team, notably with Achraf Hakimi, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes and Vintinha on the bench. Note that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is also back in the group.
While we imagined him returning after the break, Alsatian captain Emanuel Emegha is still missing due to a hamstring injury. Another Racing executive, Mamadou Sarr is also absent from Liam Rosenior's group, who should present a 4-2-3-1 to start. 2 changes after the card against Angers (5-0): Ben Chilwell returns to his left lane, while Julio Enciso will play at number 10. As a result of the tactical reorganization, Abdoul Ouattara and Diego Moreira will play a step higher and occupy the roles of wingers.
The official compositions:
PSG (4-3-3): Knight – Zaire-Emery (cap.), Zabarnyi, Beraldo, Hernandez – Lee, Mayulu, DouĂ© – Mbaye, Ramos, Barcola.
Strasbourg (4-2-3-1): Penders – G. DouĂ©, Högsberg, DoukourĂ© (cap.), Chilwell – El-Mourabet, Barco – Ouattara, Enciso, Moreira – Panichelli.
