PSG face Sporting CP in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Here are the main clues about the expected Parisian lineup. Sporting CP will arrive heavily weakened against PSG, and just days before this European clash, the Portuguese club already know they will have to cope without several key players.
Captain Morten Hjulmand is suspended and will miss the match against Paris. Around him, doubts continue to grow: Ousmane Diomande, who returned injured from the Africa Cup of Nations, remains highly uncertain, as do Pote and Fotis Ioannidis, both still in rehabilitation.
Will PSG Field the Same Team as Against Lille?
Even if a few players are expected to return, Sporting could approach the game with a very depleted squad, missing several major figures. This situation seriously complicates Rui Borges’ preparation ahead of this crucial fixture.
PSG themselves will also have to deal with several important absences. For this match, Luis Enrique is expected to be without Lee, Ndjantou, Neves, and Safonov, all sidelined through injury, while Achraf Hakimi and Mbaye are away at the Africa Cup of Nations. Despite these setbacks, the squad remains strong enough to field a competitive team, likely with Chevalier in goal; Zaïre-Emery, Marquinhos, Pacho, and Nuno Mendes in defense; Mayulu, Vitinha, and Fabian Ruiz in midfield; and Doué, Dembélé, and Kvaratskhelia in attack.
