For the trip of his family to Brittany during the third day of L1, Mauricio Pochettino has chosen to establish the Costa Rican goalkeeper and


Keylor Navas will indeed start this Friday in Brest where PSG travel on behalf of the 3rd day.

With the first in the group of Gianluigi Donnarumma, who arrived free this summer from AC Milan, there was doubt about the name of the holder.

In Brest, it will therefore always be Keylor Navas, as in Troyes and against Strasbourg for the two initial successes in the French league.

But it will be necessary to wait until the end of the meeting and the explanations of Mauricio Pochettino to know if it is a choice of circumstances or for the duration of the season.

For the rest, the Argentine coach has decided to reinstate in the starting XI a single finalist of the international tournaments (Copa America and Euro) while Leo Messi, him, spends the weekend in Barcelona. This is Marco Verratti, already ready to support Georginio Wijnaldum, Ander Herrerra and Gana Gueye in midfield. The first victim of the return of the Little Owl is called Julian Draxler, replacing this Friday. The others concerned, like Angel Di Maria, Marquinhos and therefore Donnarumma, are on the sidelines.

The rest is more classic with a Thilo Kehrer and Presnel Kimpembe hinge or even a Kylian Mbappé and Mauro Icardi attack. Among the replacements, Pochettino will be able to call on Marquinhos, Danilo Pereira, Dina Ebimbé, Rafinha and Kalimuendo. PSG could evolve in Finistère in 4-4-2 in diamond shape with Verratti in support of Mbappé and Icardi.
