PSG appear this Wednesday evening in Dijon, in the quarter-final of the Coupe de France (6.30 p.m.), with an experimental team. Deprived of 11 players including Neymar, Verratti, Gueye or Marquinhos, Thomas Tuchel chose to trust young Tanguy Kouassi, 17, accompanied by Herrera in the midfield.
This new-look duo will be responsible for supporting the attack quartet composed of Pablo Sarabia, Edinson Cavani, Kylian Mbappé and Julian Draxler.
Favorite Navas in Rico
Preferred to Mauro Icardi at the forefront, Edinson Cavani had not been titular since January 5 in the Coupe de France against Linas-Montlhéry (6-0). The Uruguayan could register in Burgundy his 200th goal in the Paris jersey.
In defense, we note the return of captain Thiago Silva after two and a half weeks of absence due to pubic pain. He will be responsible in particular for guiding the young Dutchman Mithcel Bakker who signs his first tenure there in the jersey of PSG. Finally, Keylor Navas was preferred to Sergio Rico to keep the Parisian cage.
The composition of the PSG:
Navas - Meunier, Kehrer, Thiago Silva (cap.), Bakker - Sarabia, Herrera, Kouassi, Draxler - Mbappé, Cavani.
