PSG predicted XI v Lille: Marco Asensio set for first start since September? | OneFootball

Marco Asensio could make his first Paris Saint-Germain start since scoring a goal and registering an assist during a 4-1 victory over Olympique Lyonnais on 3rd September.

In the wake of that game, Asensio headed off on international duty and was injured while playing with Spain. The former Real Madrid forward faced an extended spell on the sidelines but is now nearing full fitness. The Spaniard came on late against FC Nantes and also came on in the dying stages against Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League.

Asensio is now in contention to start against Lille OSC on Sunday evening. However, he will have to compete with Vitinha for a place in the line-up. The Portuguese midfielder impressed against Dortmund in midweek. Luis Enrique doesn’t have any fresh injury concerns heading into the fixtures against Les Dogues.

PSG likely lineup v Lille

Arnau Tenas; Lucas Hernandez, Milan Skriniar, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi; Warren Zaïre-Emery, Manuel Ugarte, Marco Asensio; Kang-in Lee, Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé.
