We can see more clearly about the group that Zoumana Camara will retain to face Sevilla FC, this Tuesday (6 p.m.) at the Georges-Lefèvre stadium, in the round of 16 of the Youth League. Up on a daily basis with the first team, Xavi Simons, replacing Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 last Saturday, will be left at the disposal of the U19 group to try to snatch qualification in a dry match in the equivalent of the Youth Champions League.
The Dutchman was one of PSG’s driving forces during the group stage, being involved in 9 of the 16 goals scored by the young Parisian guard in six games (3 goals, 6 assists). Against Bruges (3-2) on December 7, he led the revolt to ten against eleven while the Belgians led 2-0 at the break. Unless there is a huge surprise, Xavi Simons will still start this Tuesday against Sevilla who will be deprived of their midfielder Exposito Jimenez (suspended).
Bitshiabu suspended
PSG will have to deal with the suspension of El Chadaille Bitshiabu following his exclusion against Bruges. The defender played in National 3 this weekend. In his absence, Nehemiah Fernandez and Younes El Hannach are expected to occupy the axis of defense.
Moreover, in addition to Xavi Simons used to training for the first team, Edouard Michut, Ismaël Gharbi, Sekou Yansané or Djeidi Gassama will also be there. Jordan Monteiro is injured (psoas).
