A day of rest to blow before projecting yourself towards the big meeting of this end of January. The day after their draw against Reims (1-1), Luis Enrique’s men benefited from a day off this Sunday.
The bodies of Parisian players have been very asked since the start of the year – six games played in twenty days – and the PSG staff had therefore given a little respite to the workforce in anticipation of the eighth and last meeting of the League of Champions disputed Wednesday evening in Stuttgart (9 p.m.).
The Spanish coach is expected to benefit from a group, almost in full. If Nuno Mendes, suspended, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, unqualified, and Ibrahim Mbayé, injured, will not be able to take part in this match, Marquinhos and Achraf Hakimi, they should be there. The two defenders had been preserved by the staff this weekend and their presence for the trip to Germany does not make too many doubts.
“I don’t want to give any track to the opponent. We play against Stuttgart, Marquinhos and the players who were put to rest were because we considered it appropriate. They are all ready to go to Stuttgart and play a very important match, “said Luis Enrique on Saturday evening after the draw against Reims.
-The whole of the Parisian workforce will benefit from two training sessions to prepare for this decisive meeting: the first will take place this Monday afternoon (5 p.m.) in Poissy, the second Tuesday evening in Stuttgart (6.30pm) on the lawn of MHPARENA. The partners of Ousmane Dembélé, 22nd in the standings, will be automatically qualified for the dams in the event of a victory or a draw.
If it is difficult, at this moment, to define the accuracy of the starting eleven aligned with Stuttgart, Luis Enrique could be tempted to make light adjustments to blow one or two elements widely used since the start of the year. In the absence of Nuno Mendes, Lucas Hernandez would hold the rope to occupy the left corridor of the defense. Returning to competition on December 10, the world champion started the last three Ligue 1 games in the axis. He hopes to know his first tenure of the season in the Champions League.
The likely composition of PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (chap.), Pacho, Lucas Hernandez – Zaïre -Ester, Vitinha, Joao Neves – Doué, Dembélé, Boat.
