The PSG star who does not make it to the game against Manchester United
Thomas Tuchel will have to think of an alternative defense of the match against Red Devils in Paris because of an injury of one of his stars.
After the defeat on the Champions League final last season, PSG’s keep having nightmares about the European tournament. Now the chance for them to repeat the road to the final begins. The journey will not be easy considering that the team has to face Manchester United, with the hard memory of 2018-19 elimination.
The coach now has to face a new problem. Marquinhos joins first-choice left-back Juan Bernat on the sidelines for the next match. The Brazilian played just 11 minutes of Brazil’s win over Perú and then was replaced because of a thigh injury. Who is going to replace him? Luckily, PSG has some options.
Marquinhos is a really versatile player that can be a center-back or a defensive midfielder. His main position can be covered by the French Abdou Diallo, who is used to play aside with Presnel Kimpembe because the Brazilian has been playing as a midfielder for a long time now.
PSG has several midfielder options, the first one is set Verratti as a lonely midfielder or maybe the Italian can play with Idrissa Gueye. If that does not work, Tuchel can put Leandro Paredes or Danilo Pereira to play in Marquinho’s position. Two players of those four will play in the debut of PSG in the Champions League 2020-21.
