Clearly, Danilo Pereira is indeed a central defender in the mind of Thomas Tuchel.
While he spares Marquinhos, on the bench, the German coach starts the Portuguese international behind this Saturday, in Nantes (9 pm, live commented), during the ninth day of Ligue 1. He will be associated with Abdou Diallo, Presnel Kimpembe is also spared.
Ditto for Layvin Kurzawa.
With the absences of several players in the offensive sector, including Neymar, Paris will start with a Sarabia-Kean-Mbappé trio in front.
Changes also in Nantes, notably with a Castelletto-Abeid hinge.
Former Paris Saint-Germain player, Jean-Kevin Augustin starts on the substitutes bench with his new club.
PSG occupy the top of the standings before this meeting, tied with Lille and Rennes.
