Paris Saint-Germain travel to Spain this Tuesday for a crucial Champions League encounter against Villarreal, with Luis Enrique facing several selection headaches. Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembélé, Nuno Mendes and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are unavailable, forcing the PSG coach to adjust his starting eleven.
Achraf Hakimi should retain his place at right-back, alongside Illia Zabarnyi, Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez in defence. In midfield, João Neves, Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz are expected to return after resting against Le Havre. Désiré Doué looks likely to feature in attack, while Ferran Torres, Maghnes Akliouche and Senny Mayulu compete for the remaining places. Meanwhile, Villarreal could rely on a 4-4-2 formation, with Nicolas Pépé and Georges Mikautadze leading the attack.
Probable line-ups
PSG: Matvey Safonov – Achraf Hakimi, Illia Zabarnyi, Willian Pacho, Lucas Hernandez – João Neves, Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz – Maghnes Akliouche, Ferran Torres, Désiré Doué.
Villarreal: Péter Gulácsi – Santiago Mouriño, Pau Navarro, Renato Veiga, Sergi Cardona – Tajon Buchanan, Santi Comesaña, Pape Gueye, Alberto Moleiro – Nicolas Pépé, Georges Mikautadze.
