In anticipation of the strong adversity offered by Strasbourg, the ranking and its small margin over its opponents a week after a difficult victory at Auxerre (0-1), PSG should not make many rotations this Sunday at the Meinau stadium. Strasbourg-PSG concludes the 20th day of Ligue 1 at 8:45 p.m.
For this trip, Luis Enrique will be deprived of Fabian Ruiz and Quentin Ndjantou, like Wednesday against Newcastle (1-1) in the Champions League. Added to these two packages is that of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, injured in the ankle against the English and still absent for a long week.
While Lens temporarily regained the lead in Ligue 1 this Friday evening after its success against Le Havre (1-0) at home, the big question of this trip to Alsace remains the question of the goalkeeper. This Saturday at a press conference from the Poissy Campus, the coach did not provide any clues. He could continue to trust Matvey Safonov to return in goal in the Champions League as soon as he recovers from his broken hand.
The probable composition of PSG:
Safonov – Hakimi (Cap.), Zabarnyi, Mendes – Vitinha, Neves, Zaire-Emery – Doué, Democratic, Baruchola.
In defense, all the holders in the European Cup have the capacity to continue, except Marquinhos, who rarely uses two matches in a row. Illia Zabarnyi should replace him.
In the middle, Vitinha will continue, as usual and as revealed by Luis Enrique, in the company of Warren-Zaire Emery and João Neves. Up front, Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola are expected even if Senny Mayulu claims a role of false number 9 with the possibility of shifting the Golden Ball to the right, in place of Doué, who has been forcing his game since his return from injury.
Note that Barcelona rookie Dro Fernandez will have to wait before making his debut with PSG. “You have to be calm. He’s coming. We stay calm to see its adaptation. You have to give him this confidence at the right time. When ? I don’t know,” said the Asturian coach.
