The misfortune of some makes the happiness of others.
Failing to be able to count on his Navas, Marquinhos, Paredes, Icardi, Di Maria, Neymar and Mbappé, all positive for Covid-19, Thomas Tuchel decided to draw on the reservoir of young people for the trip of PSG to Lens this Thursday evening .
In the group of 20 players selected for the trip to the promoted Northerner, the German coach has, as expected, made the choice to swell the Parisian ranks with a quintet of "Titis".
In addition to striker Arnaud Kalimuendo (18 years old), who could start at the top, defender Timothée Pembele (18 years old), midfielders Bandiougou Fadiga (19 years old), Kays Ruiz-Atil (18 years old) and Xavi Simons (17 years old) were also called to start the season of PSG in the North.
In this group which, in the absence of Marquinhos, should see Presnel Kimpembé punctually inherit the captain's armband, also appears the Spaniard Jesé, back to the club after his lackluster loan to Sporting Lisbon.
In addition to the tenure of the Pole Bulka in the cage and possibly that of Kalimuendo in tip, Paris should nevertheless line up an experienced starting eleven at kick-off.
The PSG group:
Bulka (g), Dagba, Kehrer, Kimpembe, Bernat, Herrera, Verratti, Gueye, Sarabia, Kalimuendo, Jesé, Draxler, Innocent (l), Diallo, Kurzawa, Bakker, Pembele, Simons, Fadiga, Ruiz -Does he have.
