He had assured that he would spare no one.
Christophe Galtier kept his word.
For the last match before the World Cup, against Auxerre, this Sunday at 1 p.m. (Prime Video, Canal + Foot), the Parisian coach lines up a team without a major absence.
If Marquinhos (muscle discomfort), Fabian Ruiz and Keylor Navas were already forfeited, the other able-bodied Parisians are present for this meeting of the 15th day of Ligue 1.
Thus, the offensive trio Messi-Neymar-Mbappé will be aligned in attack.
Messi did not play in Lorient last Sunday due to inflammation of the Achilles tendon but the lawn of the Parc des Princes should suit him better than that of Moustoir.
In defense, we watched the fate of Presnel Kimpembe.
Called up by Didier Deschamps on Wednesday evening, the central defender did not resume collective training until Thursday after an Achilles tendon injury which had deprived him of matches in Turin (1-2) then in Lorient (1-2) last week.
A setback in his return to competition for the one who had already missed six weeks following a hamstring injury, on September 10, against Brest.
At kick-off, Kimpembe will only be a substitute when Didier Deschamps had nevertheless assured on the sidelines of the announcement of his list that he would play this Sunday.
It therefore remains to wait for his entry into play to know if he is well recovered from his injury.
Otherwise, it would be a worrying signal in view of his presence in Qatar, he who has only played 70 minutes for two months…
For the rest, Carlos Soler was preferred to Vitinha in the middle.
PSG against Auxerre:
99. Donnarumma – 2. Hakimi, 26. Mukiele, 4. Ramos, 25. Mendes – 15. Danilo, 6. Verratti (cap.), 28. Soler – 10. Neymar – 30. Messi, 7. Mbappe.
Trainer: Christophe Galtier.
Replacements: 16. Rico (l.), 31. Bitshiabu, 3. Kimpembe, 14. Bernat, 18. R. Sanches, 33. Zaire-Emery, 17. Vitinha, 19. Sarabia, 44. Ekitike
