The match between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and AS Saint-Étienne (ASSE) is scheduled for this Sunday, January 12, 2025 at 8:45 p.m. at the Parc des Princes, as part of the 17th day of Ligue 1 McDonald’s. Here is the composition of the Saint-Etienne team chosen by coach Eirik Horneland.
This match is of particular importance for both teams. For PSG, current leader of the championship, a victory would consolidate its position at the top of the standings and take a significant lead over its pursuers. For its part, ASSE, looking for points to move away from the relegation zone, sees this meeting as an opportunity to redress its situation and gain confidence.
Absences
The group has not yet recovered all of its strength, as evidenced by the numerous absences during the match against Reims. Nevertheless, Eirik Horneland was able to count on several important returns. Aimen Moueffek, Augustine Boakye and Mickaël Nadé, away from the field for several weeks due to injuries, have reappeared. All three players took part in the match, and the last two even stood out for their decisive impact.
Despite everything, the Saint-Etienne coach had to do without Mathis Amougou and Zuriko Davitashvili. The Frenchman suffered from calf discomfort, while the Georgian withdrew at the last moment due to illness. Good news, however: both players will be available for the trip to Paris.
Yunis Abdelhamid, suspended against Reims, also makes his return. After maintaining his form with the reserve team during a match against FBBP01 (0-0), he returned to the group that Kevin Pedro left.
-On the other hand, Eirik Horneland will still have to deal without Ibrahima Wadji, still injured, without Moueffek (ill) and without Ibrahim Sissoko, who remains suspended for four additional matches.
Furthermore, Yvann Maçon is not yet ready to return to competition, while Ben Old continues his rehabilitation after his serious knee injury.
