France vs Ukraine: only one PSG player in the lineup?

Didier Deschamps has made his decision for the clash against Ukraine… and PSG will have very little representation. Among the eleven expected starters, only Bradley Barcola is set to begin the match. This is a striking contrast to the years when Paris heavily supplied the national team.

In goal, Maignan will keep the net with a defense completely outside of PSG: Koundé, Saliba, Upamecano, and Digne. In midfield, there is a major return for N’Golo Kanté, paired with Manu Koné in an unprecedented double pivot.

Barcola starting, Hernandez, WZE, and Chevalier on the bench

In attack, Cherki will be positioned as a playmaker, Olise on the right, Barcola on the left, and Kylian Mbappé up front, now a player for Real Madrid.

Only one Parisian in the eleven, but with a crucial role: Barcola will need to energize the left flank as France can secure their qualification as early as tonight.

The probable lineup:
Maignan – Koundé, Saliba, Upamecano, Digne – Kanté, Koné – Olise, Cherki, Barcola – Mbappé.
