Zapping Foot National Top 10: the most expensive trainers in history
The big meeting is approaching. This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain actually receives Manchester City on behalf of the semi-finals of the Champions League. On the eve of this duel at the top between two ambitious formations, the first trends begin to filter concerning the compositions. On the Parisian side, Keylor Navas will obviously be established in the cages. The questions concern more his defense. And in particular Marquinhos. Injured in the groin during the first leg in Munich in the quarter-finals, the Brazilian captain has not appeared since. After a big job of recovery, the central defender is preparing to return to the group. And even as a holder? The reflection should be carried out to the end by his coach Mauricio Pochettino, always careful when returning his injured. This Tuesday morning, the daily L’Equipe indicates that Marquinhos is however fit to start.
In case of withdrawal of his coach, Danilo Pereira should, as against Bayern, occupy the post of central defender alongside Presnel Kimpembe. Abdou Diallo, back after his calf injury, and Alessandro Florenzi, again fit after his positive Covid-19 test several days ago, should start on the wings. In his traditional 4-2-3-1, Mauricio Pochettino should also align the pair Idrissa Gueye-Leandro Paredes in recovery, leaving Marco Verratti a notch higher in the offensive phase. Finally, dazzling in the return match against Munich, the Di Maria-Neymar-Mbappé trio should start. A doubt persisted this weekend after the exit of Kylian Mbappé against Metz, victim of a crutch. But optimism is de rigueur in the capital, and the 2018 world champion should start well at the Parc des Princes this Wednesday.
The probable line-up of PSG against Manchester City: Navas – Florenzi, Marquinhos (c), Kimpembe, Diallo – Paredes, Gueye – Di Maria, Verratti, Neymar – Mbappé.
