PSG: Bernat and Dagba absent from the final of the League Cup

PSG are suffering on the sides of the defense. The club of the capital published this Friday the group of 21 players who will play in the final of the Coupe de la Ligue against Lyon this Friday at the Stade de France from 9:10 p.m.

Colin Dagba, victim of muscle discomfort, is absent, as is Juan Bernat, who resumed group training on Monday. The Spaniard saw his summer preparation disrupted by calf pain.

The former Bayern Munich side, usually indisputable holder, will arrive in Lisbon for the quarter-final of the Champions League against Atalanta Bergamo on August 12 without an official match in his legs. On the other hand, he will be able to play the friendly match against Sochaux at the Parc des Princes on August 5, behind closed doors. He would therefore only have one match on his record before starting the European Cup. Problematic.

The left side post in balance

This Friday in Saint-Denis, the position of left side is in balance between Mitchel Bakker, holder a week ago in the final of the Coupe de France against Saint-Etienne, and Layvin Kurzawa.

On the right, there is also a doubt about the choice at kick-off. Also last week, Thilo Kehrer suffered a hip contusion against the Greens. He has regained almost all of his sensations but will the technical staff take a risk? If he were to join the bench, Ander Herrera could then start on this flank as he has already done with Paris.

For the rest and taking into account the sprained ankle of Kylian Mbappé, there are no surprises in this group of 21 elements. 20 players must appear on the match sheet. It is therefore the third goalkeeper Marcin Bulka who will jump.

The group : Keylor Navas, Sergio Rico, Marcin Bulka, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, Thilo Kehrer, Layvin Kurzawa, Mitchel Bakker, Abdou Diallo, Leandro Paredes, Idrissa Gueye, Julian Draxler, Ander Herrera, Marco Verratti, Pablo Sarabia, Eric- Maxim Choupo-Moting, Neymar, Angel Di Maria, Mauro Icardi, Arnaud Kalimuendo.
