All the lights seemed to be green, these last hours, for a tenure of Ousmane Dembélé against Arsenal on Wednesday evening, at the Parc des Princes, in the semi-final return of the Champions League. But Luis Enrique decided otherwise. If, according to L’Equipe, the Spanish technician had the medical light of his staff on Tuesday, for a tenure of the Frenchman, he still decided to start the one who had left injured in the right thigh during the first leg last Tuesday. “”He’s ready but he doesn’t start the match“Said Luis Enrique about the attacker, who arrived at the Parc des Princes L’Air relaxed and smiling.
The former Barcelona had trained with the group for the past two days. RMC Sport evokes a precautionary measure at the end of a reflection until the last moment. Consequently, the Parisian offensive trio will be composed of Bradley Barcola, KHVICHA KVAratskhelia and Désiré Doué, with certainly many permutations to be expected.
For the rest, no surprises, neither in the middle nor in defense. On the Arsenal side, while Thomas Parte is back from suspension, Leandro Trossard pays the costs. It is indeed Mikel Merino who will find “his” place at the forefront of the Gunners’ attack, him the midfielder.
The eleven of PSG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (chap.), Pacho, n.Mes – J.Neves, Vitinha, F.Ruiz – Doué, Kvaratskhelia, Boat.
The eleven of Arsenal :a – Timber, Saliba, Kiwisor, Lewis-Skey – Odegaard (cap.), Patey, Rice – Serious, Merino, Martleelli.
