PSG: An eleven with Thiago Silva and David Luiz – Sports.fr

For the first time in a competitive match with PSG, Laurent Blanc could field Tuesday in Nicosia central defense consisting of Thiago Silva and David Luiz. Back from injury, the Brazilian hinge not raise a lot of questions.

“Finally” , has to say Laurent Blanc. For the first time this season, Thiago Silva and David Luiz should be able to play together in the jersey of Paris Saint-Germain Tuesday against Apoel Nicosia in the Champions League. A first in a competitive match since the two Brazilians have already evolved at the same time as the Parisian colors. It was on 11 August in a friendly match against Napoli. But that lasted only 14 minutes. The time Thiago Silva is injured and is replacing Marquinhos has been acting with some talent.

handicapped both by physical problems in recent weeks, the two international Seleção now seem likely. Will they live up to the expectations they generate? On paper, they are in no doubt one of the best in the world hinges. But the end of their World Cup including the nightmarish semifinal against Germany (1-7), created the doubt. Their complementarity and their involvement in the duels will be scrutinized carefully.

Faced with a cascade of injuries against Lens on Friday, Laurent Blanc can however boast having almost his team deviation. In defense, Maxwell and Gregory Van der Wiel complement the Brazilian axis. In the middle, the only uncertainty Blaise Matuidi, shot in the right thigh face the Blood and Gold. If sufficiently recovered, Yohan Cabaye could take the opportunity to get involved alongside Thiago Motta and Marco Verratti.

In attack, the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic Edinson Cavani allows to put in the axis. Scorer from the penalty spot against Lens, “El Matador” must prove he has regained his effectiveness. On the sides, Lucas and Javier Pastore are almost indisputable because of the absence of Ezequiel Lavezzi.

The probable composition of PSG: Sirigu – Van der Wiel, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Maxwell – Verratti (or Cabaye), Thiago Motta, Matuidi (or Verratti) – Lucas , Cavani Pastore. Alternates: Douchez Aurier, Digne, Camara, Cabaye (or Matuiti) Chantome, Bahebeck.
