Long uncertain for the shock against FC Barcelona, Vitinha should ultimately hold her place in the midfield and even start the meeting.
Fifteen days after a very successful first against Atalanta Bergame (4-0), Paris SG has an appointment with Barça on Wednesday. A meeting that European champions do not approach the best dispositions. As a result of the many absences with which the capital’s club will have to deal with.
In attack, PSG will notably have to do without Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, that is to say his three holders in the Champions League final against Inter Milan. To make up for his absences, Luis Enrique should align Kang-in Lee and Senny Mayulu alongside Bradley Barcola, Gonçalo Ramos, being left for once again to eat his brake on the replacement bench.
The news is better in the midfield. While they all started the week in care, Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves and Vitinha are all trip to Catalonia. And if Joao Neves, injured against the Atalanta Bergame, could have to settle for a replacement role, Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha are expected to start the meeting, according to The Parisian AND The team.
Luis Enrique does not want to take any risk
“The decision is the players who will take it too. It’s an important match but not a decisive match, explained Luis Enrique at a press conference.
Our mentality is not to take risks with our players. There are several players who can play or not but we will see their feeling tomorrow. »»
In defense, if Marquinhos is also absent, Pacho and Illya Zabarnyi will form the central hinge while Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes will be aligned in the corridors.
The likely composition of PSG against Barça:
Chevalier -Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Mendes-Neves (or Zavre-Méry), Vitinha, Ruiz-Bradley Barcola, Mayulu, Lee.
