Mauricio Pochettino had warned: it would be difficult for Neymar to start in Lyon after his absence linked to an adductor injury contracted on February 10 in Caen.

"It will be difficult for him to start the match," he said at a press conference on Saturday.

But by playing for a few minutes, he will gain in form.

The Brazilian will be a good replacement this Sunday in Lyon (9 pm) where Paris can hope to benefit from the defeat of Lille at home against Nîmes (2-1).

Regarding the starting XI, as indicated by L'Equipe, Diallo will be well established at the left-back position and was therefore preferred to Kurzawa.

In the midfield, it is Danilo, and not Leandro Paredes, who will be alongside Verratti and Gueye.

In front, the attacking trio will be composed of Di Maria, Kean and Mbappé.

As a reminder, Mauro Icardi was hit in the left thigh and therefore absent for this last meeting before the international break.

In addition, the Parisians will wear their fourth jersey tonight, the pink and purple, already used in February against Nice (2-1), at the Park, whose very particular design had not failed to cause debate.
