It is with a largely reduced team that the
Paris Saint-Germain will try to avoid the trap set by Olympique Lyonnais at Groupama Stadium, this Sunday evening, for the shock of this 12th day of Ligue 1 (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.).
While Désiré Doué recently returned to the infirmary for several weeks, the reigning champion will also have to do without three other executives for a long time: Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes and Ousmane Dembélé – sorry.
PSG: the nightmare schedule without Hakimi!
“ I don’t remember any match this season with the whole team in good shape, any match, recalled Luis Enrique at a press conference. It’s a different season, you have to know how to deal with that. I make no excuses. But I am calm and calm because I know that we will overcome all this. »
Luis Enrique has to tinker everywhere
The PSG coach will have no room to put together his starting lineup this Sunday. Without a designated replacement on the sides, Paris should rely on Warren Zaire-Emery and Lucas Hernandez to try to fill the major absences of Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes. Captain Marquinhos is not 100% either and the defense will be unprecedented.
In the middle, Paris has regained its strength and the trio Joao Neves-Vitinha-Fabian Ruiz will certainly be the key in this tactical balance of power against OL. But up front, Luis Enrique will also have to tinker. Kvaratskhelia and Barcola seem physically worn out but are expected at kick-off. Supersub Ramos is also applying to start even though Lee Kang-in or Senny Mayulu were alternatives to this position.
