PSG-Nice: The composition of Paris SG falls, huge comeback! – Soccer On 7

A few hours before the end of the winter transfer window, PSG face OGC Nice in French Cup. Discover the composition of Paris SG.

PSG will have to confirm against Nice

A few weeks before the clash against Real Madrid, doubts remain around the team of Mauricio Pochettino. Despite a leading position in the championship, the Paris Saint Germain struggles to convince observers in the game, despite a galactic workforce. After a sluggish first half of the season, the Rouge et Bleu offered a completely different face against Reims last week (4-0 victory), enough to hope for renewal for the rest of the season.

Against OGC Nice tonight, PSG will be deprived of many players, whether because of injuries, such as Georginio Wijnaldum, Sergio Ramos or Neymar, or departures for CAN or South American selection (Di Maria, Marquinhos , Navas, Gueye, Diallo, Hakimi).

To remedy this reduced workforce, Mauricio Pochettino has planned some changes in his 11, especially in defense, where Thilo Kehrer will start in the axis alongside Presnel Kimpembe. To the left, John Bernat should also start, he who saw the young Nuno Mendes steal the left lane from him this season. Injured these last days, Gianluigi Donnarumma returned to training this week and is therefore applying to keep the Parisian cages this Monday.

Messi returns to the 11

Other great news for Paris SG, the return of its Argentine star Lionel Messi in attack, he who had experienced a late return to the Red and Blue squad this winter because of Covid-19. Present in the last half hour against Stade de Reims, the seven-time Ballon d’Or will have his first tenure of 2022 with Paris Saint Germain.

Rather interesting against Oscar Garcia’s team last weekend, Messi will also have a lot to prove in the coming weeks, after his disappointing start to the season (only 1 goal scored in 12 Ligue 1 games). Against Nice tonight, the Pulga will have the opportunity to unlock his counter in a competition he does not yet know.

Probable line-up of PSG against OGC Nice:

Guardian : G. Donnarumma

Defenders: J. Bernat, P. Kimpembe, T. Kehrer, C. Dagba

Midfielders: M. Verratti, Danilo, A. Herrera

Forwards: K. Mbappé, M. Icardi, L. Messi
