We must expect the classic concerning the starting eleven of PSG against Arsenal (Wednesday in the semi-final return of the Champions League), even if a doubt still exists around the tenure of Ousmane Dembélé.
PSG should have almost everyone to find Arsenal. Almost a week after the success obtained at the Emirates Stadium (0-1), two doubts surround the group that Luis Enrique will convene for the return round against the Gunners on Wednesday at the Parc des Princes (9 p.m.). The first being of course the case of Ousmane Dembélé, victim of a muscular stretch of the hamstrings of the right thigh in England but which participated in collective training on Monday (by ignoring the last exercise of the session). The second is centered around Lee-Kang In, which will test this Tuesday during collective training after being hit in Strasbourg on Saturday (2-1).
With output holder?
On the eve of this long-awaited PSG-Arsenal, the tenure or not of Ousmane Dembélé remains the main uncertainty on the Parisian side. In the event of tenure of the 2018 world champion, which will of course have to be summoned to the group for this, our colleagues from the Team advance a probable composition with the same teammates as when going. On the offensive level, Dembélé could therefore be accompanied by Désiré Doué on the right and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the left. For the rest, it is therefore the same players as during the semi-final going to the Emirates Stadium who are expected: Gianluigi Donnarumma in goals, with a defense of four composed of Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho and Nuno Mendes. In the middle, the trio formed by Vitinha, Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz should be renewed.
-On the Arsenal side, Leandro Trossard may aligned as a false number 9 at the Emirates, gives way to Mikel Merino, who entered his place last week and would be visibly recovered from his little injury. Package on injury on Saturday against Bournemouth (1-2), Justin Timber could be replaced by Ben White on the right side of the defense, while the rest should be classic for the Gunners.
The likely composition of PSG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (C), Pacho, Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz – Doué, Dembélé (or Boat), Kvaratskhelia.
La composition probable d’Arsenal : Raya – White (now Timber), Salibi, Kwier, Lewis-Skely – Odegaard (c), Party, Rice – Saka, Merino (who Trossard), Martinelli.
