Dortmund – PSG: huge doubt for Luis Enrique before the Champions League semi-final

Dortmund hosts PSG this Wednesday, May 1, for the semi-final first leg of the Champions League. A big doubt remains on the Parisian bench before the meeting.

Borussia Dortmund is the surprise guest of the last four of the Champions League. The German club defeated Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals after defeating PSV Eindhoven in the round of 16. But the Germans did not prepare for this semi-final against PSG ideally, with a bitter setback on the Leipzig pitch last weekend in the German championship (1-4). “It’s exactly the same thing that awaits us on Wednesday against Paris,” Dortmund coach Edin Terzic said after the match.

Paris was also in great difficulty in Ligue 1 before facing Borussia Dortmund. PSG snatched a draw on Saturday, in the final moments against the virtual barrage of the championship, Le Havre (3-3). Despite everything, the next day, Paris officially became champion of France for the 12th time in its history. A good thing done for Luis Enrique's players who have already won a second title this season after the Champions Trophy. That leaves the Coupe de France and the Champions League to aim for a historic quadruple.

In the biggest European competition, PSG has just come out of a lively double confrontation against FC Barcelona and a brilliant victory in Spain (4-1). "Dortmund? We are ready. Ready to win both matches," assured Luis Enrique after the draw against Le Havre. But, there is a but...

In the expected eleven for Paris, there is indeed a big question mark around a player. Indeed, the presence of Nuno Mendes remains uncertain. Beraldo could occupy the left lane if the Portuguese was missing. PSG's probable XI: Donnarumma - Hakimi, Marquinhos, Lucas Hernandez, Beraldo - Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Fabian Ruiz - Dembélé, Mbappé, Barcola.

Dortmund coach Edin Terzic will have to cope without several important players from his squad. Haller, Bensebaini, Malen and Maatsen should miss this semi-final first leg. Doubt also remains around Mats Hummels who was injured against Leipzig this Saturday. Dortmund's probable XI: Kobel - Ryerson, Schlotterbeck, Sule, Wolf - Can - Sancho, Sabitzer, Brandt, Bynoe-Gittens - Fullkrug.

The Dortmund – PSG match will start at 9 p.m. this Wednesday. It will take place at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany.
