PSG-OM: Neymar and Kimpembe holders, Mbappé replacing?

Big changes to be expected for Mauricio Pochettino’s third match at the head of PSG, the Champions Trophy against OM, in Lens, this Wednesday (9 p.m.). After training this Tuesday morning, in the rain of the Loges camp, the Argentinian seems to want to count on the returns in form of Neymar, Danilo, Paredes and Kimpembe. They could all start this Wednesday according to the last echoes of the morning.

In attack, only Di Maria should chain a third game in a row. Kylian Mbappé and Moise Kean indeed remained in the company of the substitutes on Tuesday, leaving their place to Mauro Icardi and Neymar.

The tactical scheme should not change. Marco Verratti would also remain the holder in this role of free central midfielder. However, he would be covered by Danilo and Paredes, back from injury. In defense, full-backs Florenzi and Kurzawa are a bit tight. Bakker and Pembélé should start. Forfeit side: right-back Colin Dagba, in turn positive for Covid-19, joined Kehrer and Rafinha, absent for the same reasons.

Finally, in the axis, Presnel Kimpembe will be able to hold his place, more than three weeks after a hamstring injury which did not prevent him from making a spectacular and decisive tackle in Lille. The world champion will accompany Captain Marquinhos.

The probable eleven: Navas – Pembélé, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Bakker – Paredes, Verratti, Danilo – Di Maria, Icardi, Neymar.
