Jorge Sampaoli’s side arrived in Moscow on Wednesday on the eve of the Europa League opener against Lokomotiv, with Dimitri Payet and Jordan Amavi back.
No problem, a priori, for Dimitri Payet. Hit in a thigh last week and forfeit the displacement of theIF in Monaco (0-2), Saturday evening, in Ligue 1, the number 10 of the Phocéens is back. He is present in the larger group made up of Jorge Sampaoli who flew to Russia on Wednesday on the eve of facing the Moscow locomotive (18h45).
The French international could regain his place of false 9 in the Argentina coach’s 3-2-4-1 and may be associated with Amine Harit, who occupied this axial position on the side of Louis-II. Bamba Dieng, he, after his shattering double, is in competition with Konrad De la Fuente for the position of left winger. Arkadiusz Milik, back in training, is not in the squad.
Turnover in defense?
In defense, the Argentine coach could turn a bit. Jordan Amavi, who was also unavailable for Monaco-Olympique de Marseille, and Duje Caleta-Car, unused since the start of the season and still in the squad, are in the squad and have a small chance to start at the expense of the usual starters William Saliba , Leonardo Balerdi and Luan Peres.
The group: Mandanda, Ngapandouetnbu, Lopez – Balerdi, Amavi, Lirola, Alvaro, Peres, Caleta-Car, Saliba – Kamara, Bertelli, Rongier, Sciortino, Gueye, Harit, Guendouzi, Gerson – Luis Henrique, De la Fuente, Payet, Dieng, Ünder .
