As announced by our colleagues from RMC Sport and L'Equipe, Julian Draxler is starting this Wednesday evening against FC Barcelona, as confirmed by corroborating sources.
The German is chosen by Mauricio Pochettino to occupy the right lane of the Parisian attack instead of Angel Di Maria, considered a little short physically to start the shock of the knockout stages second leg of the Champions League.
Draxler is also rewarded for his last weeks in the Parisian jersey.
Set aside in the fall due to a long muscle injury, the former Wolfsburg player is on five starts in seven games under Pochettino.
A period used to score a goal and distribute two assists, including the last Saturday in the Coupe de France in Brest (3-0).
He will host the PSG attack with Kylian Mbappé, on the left, and Mauro Icardi, at the forefront.
Behind them, Marco Verratti will play in a higher position than Leandro Paredes and Idrissa Gueye.
Finally, in defense, Alessandro Florenzi is back in the starting eleven after groin discomfort.
Keylor Navas, in the goal, Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe, in the axis, and Layvin Kurzawa, in the left lane, complete the team composition.
It is recalled that Neymar (recovery), Juan Bernat (knee) and Moise Kean (Covid-19) are absent.
