The lines fell before the 8th final of the Coupe de France PSG-Brest, this Wednesday (9:10 p.m.), at the Parc des Princes.

PSG is filling up. Absent during the victory in Strasbourg (1-2) last Friday, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé are back in the 11 concocted by Luis Enrique to face Brest this Wednesday (9:10 p.m., multiplex live here), in the round of 16 of French Cup. Back from the CAN, Achraf Hakimi will also start. Remember that the two teams already faced each other 10 days ago in the championship, already in Paris, with a 2-2 draw. Deprived of Lucas Hernandez (suspended) and Randal Kolo Muani (ill), not to mention the long-term absentees (Skriniar, Mendes, Kimpembe) and Kang-in Lee, who has just finished the Asian Cup with the South Korea, the Spanish coach fields a relatively classic team, with newcomer Lucas Beraldo on the left. Kylian Mbappé continues and will start again on the attacking front this Wednesday evening.

On the side of Brest, third in the Ligue 1 standings, Eric Roy must do without the midfield hub Pierre Lees-Melou (suspended), while the usual captain Brendan Chardonnet, the playmaker Romain Del Castillo and the number goalkeeper 1 Marco Bizot are on the bench. Julien Le Cardinal takes his place in defense, Jonas Martin in the middle, Kamory Doumbia finds a place after the CAN, Grégoire Coudert will start in goals. Last but not least, Marco Satriano and Steve Mounié are associated in front. Note that Rennes (6-1 at Sochaux) and Lyon (2-1 against Lille) have already booked their tickets for the quarters, before four matches at 8:30 p.m.
