PSG predicted XI v Chelsea: Ousmane Dembélé and João Neves to start

Ousmane Dembélé and Joao Neves are expected to start when Paris Saint-Germain host Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.

Dembélé has not started a game since coming off injured in the first leg of PSG’s UCL play-off against AS Monaco. However, he did come on during a 3-1 defeat to the Principality club, in the league, on Friday. He is now judged fit enough to start and so he is set to start in the No.9 role.

It means that Bradley Barcola will shift back out to the left, and with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia expected to start on the right, there may be no place in the PSG attack for Désiré Doué.

João Neves, meanwhile, hasn’t featured since sustaining an injury at the end of February, but he is expected to slot right back into Luis Enrique’s midfield tonight.
