PSG-Lyon: the probable composition of the Parisians with the expected returns of Zaire-Emery and Dembélé

For its third match in ten days and two more next week, including Monaco-Paris on Wednesday, PSG must rotate a little to rest certain elements. With this in mind, Warren Zaire-Emery and Ousmane Dembélé, who did not start in Salzburg (0-3) last Tuesday in the Champions League, should start this Sunday against Lyon on the 15th day of Ligue 1 .

The young Titi had been a victim of Luis Enrique’s choice to install Vitinha, João Neves and Fabian Ruiz in the heart of the game. He could return to the eleven to the detriment of Fabian Ruiz. As for the 2018 world champion, he was suspended in Austria. Since his red card against Bayern, the winger has neither been lined up straight away against Nantes (1-1) nor at Auxerre (0-0). His “punishment” might be over. He would take the place that Kang-In Lee has occupied for two meetings without any real success.

The Spanish coach will also ask the question about two particular cases. The return of Lucas Hernandez offers him two solutions in the left axis as well as in the full-back position. Either in place of Willian Pacho or in that of Nuno Mendes. “There is a handicap because we cannot give him 90 minutes. We must little by little bring him into the competition,” believes the Asturian, a priori determined to give him playing time but not from the start of the match.

The probable composition of PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (cap.), Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Neves, Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha (or Doué) – Dembélé, Barcola, Ramos.
