The Parisian infirmary has become considerably empty in recent weeks. Having just returned from his calf injury against Ukraine, Désiré Doué certainly injured his thigh against Lorient and is once again out for several weeks off, but for the rest the many injured in recent weeks have returned to the field.
However, Ousmane Dembélé, who admitted to suffering from a hamstring in his left thigh on Saturday, after the painful Parisian victory against Nice, still seems too tight to start the match against Bayern Munich this Tuesday. The Ballon d’Or should start the match on the bench and leave his place at the forefront of the Parisian attack to the young Senny Mayulu while in the absence of Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia should occupy the corridors of the Parisian attack.
Fabian Ruiz back in midfield?
In midfield, PSG could, however, count on the trident that marched on Europe last season. While Vitinha will occupy his role as sentinel and Joao Neves will support him on the right side, Fabian Ruiz, who only returned to competition this weekend against Nice, could indeed also start the match, according to The Parisian.
If he is too fair, Warren Zaire-Emery will replace him.
In defense, in the absence of suspended Illya Zabarnyi, Marquinhos and Pacho will be associated in the central hinge while Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi will occupy the corridors.
The probable line-up of PSG against Bayern Munich:
Knight – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz (or Zaire-Emery) – Kvaratskhelia, Mayulu, Barcola.
