There are still doubts in defense. Affected in the calf since the trip to Nantes (0-2) on February 17, Marquinhos trained this Tuesday at Anoeta and could therefore hold his place, Tuesday evening, against Real Sociedad in the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League . The Parisian captain, who had already done part of the training the day before, was able to test his sensations one last time. But he did not complete the work with his partners, and touched his calf during the session. Caution remains in order.
The probable composition of PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (cap.) (or Danilo), Beraldo, Hernandez – Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz (or Lee) – Dembélé, Mbappé, Barcola
Same reasonable and measured optimism for Danilo Pereira. Absent Friday evening, in Monaco (0-0), due to a problem in his right thigh, the Portuguese international also did a good part of the work with the rest of the team. To compensate for a possible package, Lucas Beraldo appears to be a credible option.
The Spanish coach is used to deciding at the last moment, on the day of the match. During the strikes on goal of the other members of the squad, the two defenders finished the training with solo exercises, with sprints at high intensity but without forcing. They also tested their support and changes of direction before discussing at length, each on their own, with a member of the technical staff. They even talked together, probably to share their feelings of the evening. Everything will now depend on their reaction when they wake up this Tuesday.
Doubts about Mbappé’s tenure?
As usual, Luis Enrique revealed nothing of his intentions by not playing this Monday at the Reale Arena. The Parisians played opposition on a reduced pitch, favoring passing and striking circuits. Nothing made it possible, following a classic process with the Spanish coach, to create a certain starting eleven.
His choices will be scrutinized in midfield where Fabian Ruiz, Manuel Ugarte and even Kang-in-Lee play for a place to accompany Vitinha and Warren Zaire-Emery. After being taken out during the break at the Louis II stadium, will Kylian Mbappé be managed in the same way as in the championship? “It could be yes, it could be no,” Enrique responded this Monday to the media after feigning a technical problem which prevented him from hearing the question, then the second, from a colleague about the captain of the Blues.
The Spanish coach has already shown that he should not be taken lightly, but can he really do without his top scorer for such an important match? The two men spoke on Saturday morning, a discussion which would have taken place in a good climate but which therefore did not result in a change of communication on the part of the coach which maintains the vagueness around “Kyks”.
On this subject, Spanish coach Imanol Alguacil is not fixated: “If Kylian plays, he will be very fresh. If he doesn’t play, there will be another player. PSG has good players. Obviously, Mbappé is unique but there are other good players. »
As for Real Sociedad, we hope for “a magical evening” which will only be possible in the event of an exploit after the two goals conceded in the first leg at the Parc des Princes (2-0). The Basque club is in a very difficult period (1 victory in the last 9 matches) but it can count on the return of its top scorer Mikel Oyarzabal who played again, and scored, in the cup last week. “I expect an open match because of the profile of the two teams,” explained Alguacil. And I have no doubt that if we play the same game as in the first half, we can reverse the trend. »
