Another key player to watch is Presnel Kimpembe. The defender was reportedly unhappy about being left out of the squad against Nantes. It will be interesting to see if he gets the nod in this fixture. Zaire-Emery, who started on the bench against Rennes, is expected to return to the starting XI. Meanwhile, Lucas Hernandez is still recovering and has not yet rejoined the collective training sessions.
Donnarumma or Safonov?
Senny Mayulu, who sustained a right calf injury during the last international break, will miss his fourth consecutive match on Friday. However, he is expected to return next week, possibly for the trip to Salzburg or the home match against Lyon.
Possible Starting XI
Donnarumma or Safonov – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes – Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Neves – Dembélé, Ramos, Barcola
With various uncertainties surrounding some key players, it will be fascinating to see how Luis Enrique sets up his team for the trip to Auxerre.
