PSG vs Liverpool Confirmed Lineups for April 8

These are the PSG vs Liverpool confirmed lineups and team news for their UEFA Champions League first leg collision. The Parisiens are on course to retain their European crown after dismantling Premier League side Chelsea 8-2 in the previous round. They now face a Reds unit who have been nothing if not inconsistent for most of the campaign with Arne Slot suffering from a second-season dip after winning the league in his first term in charge.

PSG vs Liverpool Confirmed Lineups & Team News

Paris Saint-Germain Team News

The SofaScore news has two key absentees named for Luis Enrique. Former Lyon man Bradley Barcola has been stellar across the attack, being a key part of the offensive trio and their fluid movement. The in-form Frenchman is a big miss for this one.

He is also joined on the sidelines by Fabian Ruiz, part of the midfield trio that helped the Ligue 1 side dominate in the last season. Ruiz has been dealing with injury issues on and off that have prevented the usual names from playing together in the middle of the park.

The other issues are Quentin Ndjantou being injured and the doubts case over Senny Mayulu with the versatile man able to fill in for a midfielder or attacker if needed.

Liverpool Team News

Slot has a deeper list to contend with eight different names injured. The main names are Alexander Isak and Alisson, the goalkeeper has been injury-prone over the past year while Isak has been out for a few months and won’t start right away, instead he’s more likely to be worked in from the bench once fit.

Conor Bradley is out which is a hit to the full-back depth, the same goes for Geovanni Leoni who could have helped out as cover in the centre of the back line at times but has instead been dealing with an ACL tear.

Harvey Davies, Stefan Bajcetic, Wataru Endo, and Rhys Williams round out the injury issues for the manager to contend with.
