Paris Saint-Germain have announced their 20-man squad for their upcoming clash with Olympique Marseille on Sunday evening. Christophe Galtier’s side will be without two key players, Achraf Hakimi and Neymar.
Hakimi will be absent due to a thigh injury, while Neymar will also miss out after suffering an ankle sprain during PSG’s match against Lille last weekend. Despite initial doubts over his fitness, Nuno Mendes has been included in the squad for the Marseille clash. Hakimi has been an important player for the Parisian club this season, providing both defensive stability and attacking flair down the right flank, whilst they will also miss Neymar’s undoubted technical ability despite a recent drop in form.
During Thursday’s training session, Warren Zaïre-Emery was tested at the right-back position in the case that Nordi Mukiele would be unable to play. However, the former Leipzig man, has progressed since returning to training and has been included in the squad.
PSG’s squad to face Marseille:
Donnarumma, Rico, Letellier – Kimpembe, Ramos, Marquinhos, Bernat, Mendes, Mukiele, Pembélé, Bitshiabu – Verratti, Ruiz, Danilo, Vitinha, Soler, Zaïre-Emery – Mbappé, Messi, Ekitike.
