For the third consecutive match, Bradley Barcola could start this Sunday evening’s PSG/Saint-Etienne meeting on the sidelines. But not necessarily for tactical reasons.
The time when Bradley Barcola was essential on the left flank of the PSG attack already appears distant and it is probably not this Sunday evening against Saint-Etienne that the international winger will reverse the trend. Replacing last week against Monaco (1-0) during the Champions Trophy, the former Lyonnais could well experience the same fate this Sunday according to information from independent journalist Marc Mechenoua (ex-Le Parisien).
As he explained on his account ASSE. In December, Barcola also started on the sidelines a few times after a series of lackluster matches, namely for PSG/OL (3-1) or Lens/PSG (1-1). Each time, however, he came into play.
-This absence of Barcola at kick-off would almost certainly send Désiré Doué into the starting lineup of PSG against Saint-Etienne since the former Rennais is currently his big competitor on the left wing of PSG. Barcola absent, Kvara not yet there, the solutions are relatively meager for Luis Enrique and Doué the obvious one. The possibility of seeing Dembélé start on the left side also exists, since this is where he finished the match in Monaco in mid-December, but this has not been the trend since the start of the season.
A possible composition of PSG against Saint-Etienne: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Beraldo, Pacho, Mendes – Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz or Neves – Dembélé, Ramos, Doué
