Between injuries, suspensions and personal problems, Mauricio Pochettino will be deprived of several players, including Neymar and Angel Di Maria, for the reception, this Tuesday, of RB Leipzig for the third day of the group stage of the Champions League.
The life of a coach is not a long quiet river. And the Argentinian coach of PSG will be able to verify it again on the occasion of the German club's visit. He will be faced with several absences. Starting with that of Neymar. The Brazilian returned from selection injured in the adductors and "will have to extend a period of treatment for a few days before a normal return to the group."
Leandro Paredes, also affected with Argentina in the right quadriceps, is also forfeited and is unlikely to return until the next international break. Angel Di Maria, for his part, will serve his third and last suspension game in the competition. Uncertainties also hover concerning Mauro Icardi, who is facing couple problems, and Keylor Navas, also affected with the adductors.
Already holder in the league, last Friday, against Angers (2-1), Gianluigi Donnarumma should again take place in the Parisian goal, he who had been aligned in the victory against Manchester City (2-0). The defense should also be the same as against the Citizens with Achraf Hakimi in the right lane, Nuno Mendes on the left side and Marquinhos and Kimpembe in the center.
The midfielder should also not change with Marco Verrati, Idrissa Gueye and Ander Herrera, while in attack Lionel Messi, absent against the Angevins, will return in the starting lineup alongside Kylian Mbappé and Julian Draxler, who is tipped to take Neymar's place.
