LOSC – PSG: the probable lines

Deprived of Neymar and certainly of Kylian Mbappé on Sunday evening, Mauricio Pochettino will have to be content with a Draxler-Icardi duo in attack.

First official match of the 2021/22 season and already a first shock. This Sunday at 8 p.m., LOSC will meet Paris Saint-Germain in Tel Aviv, Israel, for the Champions Trophy. A duel that promises to be exciting between the winner of Ligue 1 and the winner of the Coupe de France. But for the occasion, Mauricio Pochettino should not be able to count on all his stars. Sergio Ramos is forfeited, just like Rafinha and Colin Dagba, while Kylian Mbappé is still uncertain. Still on vacation, Neymar, Marco Verratti and Gianluigi Donnarumma will not be there.

Opposite, Jocelyn Gourvennec will have to do without the services of Renato Sanches, absent from training this morning, and Turkish Zeki Çelik, suspended. The two Portuguese Xeka and Tiago Djalo should take their place in Lille’s starting lineup this weekend.

Likely team compositions:

LOSC: Jardim – Bradaric, Djalo, Botman, Reinildo – Araujo, Xeka, André (c), Bamba – Yilmaz (or Ikoné), David

PSG: Navas – Hakimi, Bitshiabu (or Diallo), Kehrer, Kurzawa – Herrera, Gueye (c), Dina Ebimbe – Draxler, Icardi, Gharbi (or Kalimuendo)
