PSG-Bayern act II.

A little more than 24 hours before the shock, inventory of the troops.

Marquinhos, fit or not?
The main question on the side of PSG concerns its captain.
Decisive in the first leg by scoring his second goal, Marquinhos was released a few minutes later in the first period due to an injury to the adductors.
The Brazilian has since embarked on a race against the clock to recover on time and be able to tread the lawn of the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
Absent in Strasbourg on Saturday, “Marqui” must pass new exams on Monday to know the progress of his recovery.
If he is not sufficiently recovered or if Mauricio Pochettino decides not to take a risk, Danilo Pereira will replace him in central defense alongside Kimpembe.
The other question concerns Marco Verratti and Alessandro Florenzi.
Positive for Covid-19 during the international break, the two Italians had missed the first leg and the trip to Strasbourg.
Their ten days of isolation over, the midfielder and the defender can claim a place in the eleven on Tuesday.
It remains to pass a final test to find out if they are really negative and to assess their state of form in training.
The probable eleven of Paris against Bayern:
Navas - Florenzi or Dagba - Marquinhos or Danilo, Kimpembe, Diallo - Gueye, Paredes, Verratti - Di Maria, Neymar, Mbappé
Hernandez and Coman will be there
Absent this weekend against Berlin due to a rib injury, Lucas Hernandez should be able to take his place at the Parc des Princes.
According to Bild, the world champion will start in central defense alongside Boateng while Süle is forfeited (breakdown).
Released at the break on Saturday for a knee alert, Kingsley Coman is also fit to start in his left lane.
A doubt remains on the availability of Leon Goretzka, victim of a stretch in the first leg.
If the German is forfeited, Alaba will be paired with Kimmich in the middle.
Remember that Hansi Flick must also deal with the absences of Lewandowski, Tolisso, Gnabry, Roca and Douglas Costa.
The probable eleven of Bayern in Paris:
Neuer - Pavard, Boateng, Hernández, Davies - Kimmich, Alaba - Sané, Müller, Coman - Choupo-Moting
