Mauricio Pochettino opted to line up Herrera and Wijnaldum alongside Marco Verratti in midfield behind an overly attacking Di M


While Keylor Navas (positive for Covid) withdrew a few hours from the meeting of the 21st day of Ligue 1, this Saturday against Brest, at 9 p.m., at the Parc des Princes, Mauricio Pochettino will unsurprisingly align Gianluigi Donnarumma in the Parisian goal.

In defense, exit Colin Dagba in difficulty in Lyon (1-1) last Sunday, and place, as right-back, Thilo Kehrer, scorer of the equalizer at Groupama Stadium.

As announced by RMC, we can confirm that this Saturday evening, the hinge will once again be composed of Marquinhos and Kimpembe which means that Sergio Ramos will, once again, be on the bench at the start of a match. although he was announced to be in good shape by his trainer.

Pochettino had spoken of a "choice" to justify his replacement status in Lyon already.

One month from the reception of Real Madrid in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, this situation has not finished questioning.

A Di Maria-Icardi-Mbappé attack

Bernat suffering from the consequences of his Covid, it is Nuno Mendes who will start on the left.

In midfield, the Herrera-Verratti-Wijnaldum trio will finally have to rise to the occasion.

Wijnaldum is down a notch from the game in Lyon.

Finally, in attack, in the absence of Lionel Messi who continues his preparation after his Covid and Neymar still in treatment for his sprained left ankle, Pochettino naturally chose to trust Angel Di Maria on the right side.

Mauro Icardi will be the centre-forward and Kylian Mbappé will try to increase his number of goals with Paris and get closer to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's 156 goals.

The French striker has 150 goals for the moment in the Parisian jersey.

The PSG team:

Donnarumma - Kehrer, Marquinhos (cap.), Kimpembe, Mendes - Herrera, Verratti, Wijnaldum - Di Maria, Icardi, Mbappé.
