Mbappé and Kimpembe expected in the starting lineup for PSG – Lille

Injured on February 1, in Montpellier (3-1), in the hamstrings of the left thigh, Kylian Mbappé has a good chance of starting on Sunday against Lille. “We have to win this weekendrecalled Christophe Galtier, Friday. And you are more likely to win with it than without it. So Kylian will play. » Even if the PSG coach did not set up on Saturday, he should not deprive himself of Neymar or Leo Messi and could therefore return to a 4-3-3 scheme or a 4 -4-2 in diamond, with an offensive animation that will depend on the positioning of his MNM.

Sans Hakimi ni Marquinhos

In defense, on the other hand, he will not be able to rely on Achraf Hakimi, nor on Marquinhos, both affected in the thigh, while Nordi Mukiele is still not restored. For the right-back position, this could therefore offer Timothée Pembélé a new opportunity to start the match, a week after starting in Monaco (1-3).

Presnel Kimpembe, who came on at half-time in the match against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, should also be a hinge, alongside Sergio Ramos. ” His return is an asset even if he will not yet be at 150% of his potentialpleads his trainer. We need mental freshness, to defend while advancing and Presnel has that quality. »

Faced with an opponent from Lille whose interior Paris will want to block, Galtier could be tempted to return to a midfield three, as he had done in the weeks preceding the World Cup, with Danilo Pereira on sentry, Marco Verratti and Fabian Ruiz in torchbearers. If the Spanish international environment had not been weakened at the start of the week “ by severe muscle discomfort, he would have presumably started against Bayern Munich, by the way.
