four days from PSG-Bayern, Galtier does not rotate against Nantes

“We will field a very competitive team», had promised Christophe Galtier. He kept his word. With two exceptions, the Parisian coach chose the same starting 11 as in Marseille last Sunday (3-0 win) to face Nantes, this Saturday (9 p.m., live commentary), at the time of the 26th day of Ligue 1. And again, both changes are constrained: they concern Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles tendon, end of season) and Marco Verratti (suspended). For the rest, we do not change a winning team, even four days before the return match against Bayern (Wednesday in Munich). Danilo Pereira and Warren Zaire-Emery replace Kimpembe and Verratti. We recall that Renato Sanches and Achraf Hakimi – injured and… indicted for rape – are also unavailable. In front, we will notably find Leo Messi and a certain Kylian Mbappé, who equaled Edinson Cavani’s home goal record at the Vélodrome and could therefore become, alone, the top scorer in the history of PSG.

For his part, Antoine Kombouaré returns to a five-man defense to face his former club. In front, no Andy Delort, author of a double against Lens in the Coupe de France (2-1) this week. It is Ignatius Ganago who will be alone in the lead, with Ludo Blas and Florent Mollet to try to feed him. PSG-Nantes, it’s the first (PSG) against the 13th (Nantes) in the classification of the French championship.
