Until the end the suspense will have been total concerning the starting lineup of PSG, this Saturday in Monaco (5 p.m., Prime Video). Affected by a small virus in recent hours, Fabian Ruiz must forfeit and does not appear on the match sheet. While the Spaniard was expected to start in midfield, we will find Warren Zaire-Emery (second tenure in the elite) and Vitinha in a team that could be articulated in 3-4-1-2.
Carlos Soler should take a position as a playmaker behind the Ekitike-Neymar duo. Remember that Lionel Messi (muscle fatigue) and Marco Verratti (hip) are preserved and that Kylian Mbappé is still due to a left thigh injury.
In defense, Christophe Galtier blows Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes. The young Timothée Pembélé will occupy the right lane and Juan Bernat the left. The trio of Marquinhos, Danilo Pereira and El Chadaille Bitshiabu will form the central hinge.

Donnarumma – Marquinhos (cap), Danilo, Bitshiabu – Pembele, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Bernat – Soler – Ekitike, Neymar.
