D-1 for PSG. And on the eve of facing Arsenal in the Champions League final, uncertainty reigns in the composition of the title holder. Consequence of the absence of Achraf Hakimi since his thigh injury in the last minutes of the first round against Bayern Munich on April 28.
On the sidelines for almost a month, the Moroccan has certainly been training normally since the start of the week. And according to those around him, the former Madrilenian considers himself 100%. However, according to L’Equipe, doubt remains as to his presence at the kick-off of the match against the Gunners.
Luis Enrique could indeed play the safety card by starting Warren Zaire-Emery, to his advantage throughout the season when he had to replace the Moroccan on the right flank.
Fabian Ruiz aligned in the middle
For the rest, no surprises are to be expected and the eleven aligned by Luis Enrique will look very similar to the one that defeated Inter Milan (5-0) last year in the Champions League final. Gianluigi Donnarumma is certainly no longer there but ahead of Matvey Safonov, Pacho and Marquinhos will make up the central hinge while Nuno Mendes will occupy the left flank.
In midfield, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and Joao Neves will be retained and in attack, there is no suspense this year. Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will surround Ousmane Dembélé while Bradley Barcola will start again on the sidelines.
The probable line-up of PSG against Arsenal
Safonov – Hakimi (or Zaire-Emery), Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz – Doué, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.
