PSG XI at Lille: Maghnes Akliouche, Ferran Torres and Désiré Doué start | OneFootball

PSG’s forward line features Maghnes Akliouche, Ferran Torres and Désiré Doué for Friday’s Ligue 1 matchday two opener away to Lille, kick-off 20:45 at Pierre-Mauroy.

PSG drew 2-2 at Rennes on the opening weekend, when Torres scored twice on his debut against Stade Rennais. L'Équipe reports that Ousmane Dembélé is rested, with recruits Akliouche and Torres joining Doué.

Lucas Beraldo starts, as does Fabian Ruiz, while Lucas Hernandez and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are on the bench. Joao Neves misses out, as do suspended Nuno Mendes, Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, who is in the process of leaving.

PSG XI: Safonov, Hakimi, Marquinhos (capt.), Pacho, Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Beraldo, Fabian Ruiz, Akliouche, Ferran Torres, Doué.

Lille opened with a 2-0 win at Angers and keep a largely similar side. The defence is unchanged, Benjamin André replaces Ngal'ayel Mukau, and Felix Correia starts instead of Basar Onal. Olivier Giroud leads the line.

Lille XI: Ozer, A. Santos, Ngoy, Alexsandro, Perraud, André, Bentaleb, E. Mbappé, Haraldsson, F. Correia, Giroud.
