As he announced Tuesday at a press conference, Thomas Tuchel should line up a team very different from the one who beat Linas-Montlhéry on Sunday in the Coupe de France (6-0). The starting lineup of PSG should simply resemble its typical team of the moment, apart from the goalkeeper, which confirms the group of 19 players selected broadcast this Wednesday early in the afternoon.
Keylor Navas, already not convened for the League Cup matches at Le Mans and Sunday, remains once again on the sidelines. A way to grant him rest while Sergio Rico will chain a second tenure. Marcin Bulka, the third goalkeeper, will be on the bench. Youth League goalkeeper Denis Franchi is also being held and should sit in the stands.
The rest of the Parisian armada is well expected this evening at the Parc des Princes. Mbappé, Neymar, Icardi and Di Maria, none of whom played on Sunday, are well on the list and must be titular, according to the words of the coach on Tuesday.
As expected, Thiago Silva (ankle), Presnel Kimpembe and Abdou Diallo (thigh) are still in the infirmary. Layvin Kurzawa and Ander Herrera were not selected, nor were Eric Choupo-Moting or Adil Aouchiche, scorers on Sunday against Essonne amateurs.
The group for PSG - Saint-Etienne: Rico, Bulka, Franchi - Bernat, Dagba, Kehrer, Kouassi, Marquinhos, Meunier - Draxler, Gueye, Paredes, Sarabia, Verratti - Cavani, Di Maria, Icardi, Mbappé, Neymar.
