Zapping Goal! Football club OM: top 10 most capped players in history
With the new year, Claude Puel recovers some elements. Panagiotis Retsos and Gabriel Silva are fit again after long weeks of healing. The first was summoned, not the second. On the other hand, the coach of the Greens must do without his two midfielders Yvan Neyou and Mahdi Camara, suspended for accumulation of yellow cards. Yvann Maçon is still recovering after his break from the Crusaders. Wahbi Khazri, injured against Nîmes in December, is not fit either.
Those absent from Saint-Etienne: Neyou, Camara (suspended), Mason (crusaders), Khazri (muscular), Silva (choice).
A 4-3-3 first for Pochettino?
For his first on the bench of PSG, Mauricio Pochettino will have to deal with plethora of absentees. Neymar Jr, Danilo Pereira, Leandro Paredes, Layvin Kurzawa, Juan Bernat, Alessandro Florenzi and Rafinha are all out for the trip to Saint-Etienne. Even though he took part in the match before training, Mauro Icardi was deemed too short. Suffering from the thigh before the truce, Kylian Mbappé is on the other hand well and truly present, just like Abdou Diallo and Pablo Sarabia, whose return should be made initially on the bench.
Those absent from Paris: Bernat (crosses), Neymar (sprain), Danilo (ischios), Rafinha (Covid), Kimpembe (ischios), Florenzi (ankle), Kurzawa (ischios), Icardi (recovery).
ASSE: Moulin – Debuchy (cap.), Moukoudi, Kolodziejczak, Trauco – Nordin, Gourna-Douath, Youssouf, Aouchiche – Hamouma, Bouanga.
PSG: Navas – Dagba, Kehrer, Marquinhos (cap.), Bakker – Herrera, Gueye, Verratti – Di Maria, Kean, Mbappé.
