Paris Saint-Germain travel south for Sunday night’s Classique without Achraf Hakimi, whose right-thigh problem has kept him out of the squad for the meeting with Olympique de Marseille.
The Ligue 1 match at the Stade Vélodrome kicks off at 20:45 and comes in the fifth round of the season. PSG arrive after last weekend’s 1-0 win away to Brest, but the trip has brought fresh selection decisions from Luis Enrique.
Quick facts
- PSG face Marseille away on Sunday at 20:45 in Ligue 1’s fifth matchday.
- Achraf Hakimi misses out after suffering a right-thigh injury against Brest.
- Luis Enrique has selected 21 players for the Classique.
- Lucas Hernandez and Quentin Ndjantou have not been included.
- Ilya Zabarnyi and Senny Mayulu return after missing the Brest fixture.
Hakimi was injured during the victory in Brest and has not recovered in time for the Mediterranean trip. His absence removes a regular option from the right side for a match that rarely allows much room for adjustment.
Luis Enrique has also left Lucas Hernandez out of his 21-man group, while Quentin Ndjantou is another omission. The decisions underline the greater competition being demanded within the Paris squad this season.
There is, however, a route back into the group for Zabarnyi and Mayulu. Both players were absent from the squad against Stade Brestois but have been recalled for the clash with Marseille.
