Deprived of many injured players (Navas, Paredes, Di Maria, Draxler, Herrera, Diallo and Kurzawa) for the trip to Clermont this Saturday evening (9 p.m., Canal + Décalé), as part of the 31st day of Ligue 1, Mauricio Pochettino can however count on the return of Marco Verratti who will start the match in the midfield, alongside Danilo Pereira and Idrissa Gueye.
In the absence of captain Marquinhos, spared, Sergio Ramos starts for only the fourth time this season, after Saint-Étienne, Feignies-Aulnoye and Reims. He will support Presnel Kimpembe in central defense. A small event a week after the Spaniard returned to competition, against Lorient at the Parc des Princes. Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes keep the confidence of the staff to occupy the defensive corridors, with Gianluigi Donnarumma as the last bastion.
Finally, the Stade Gabriel-Montpied welcomes the “MNM” this Saturday. Unsurprisingly, the trio Messi, Neymar, Mbappé is aligned from the start.
The Parisian composition:
Donnarumma – Hakimi, Ramos, Kimpembe (chap.), Nuno Mendes – Gueye, Danilo, Verratti – Messi, Mbappé, Neymar.
