Hakimi Likely to Play in PSG vs. Lyon Match Today

Hakimi likely to play in PSG vs. Lyon match today

The French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has confirmed that their star forward, Marquinhos, is set to make his return to the squad for tomorrow's UEFA Champions League tie against Lyon. The Brazilian forward, who was last seen playing in the team's defeat by Real Madrid on Wednesday, is expected to be available for the match.

Marquinhos has been out with a calf injury and missed the last two matches due to the injuries sustained during the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. However, he is set to feature in the match after coming off the bench against Manchester United earlier this week.

PSG manager, Guus Hiddink, has already hinted that the forward will not have to play a full game, but rather be used as a substitute or as a third striker if needed. This means that the match could potentially see Hakimi starting in the attacking midfield role alongside his fellow forwards, Mathieu Debuchy and Christian Eriksen.

The match against Lyon comes just three days before the end of the season, which is crucial for both clubs. PSG currently sit at the top of the table with a record of 15 wins, five draws and four losses, while Lyon are second with a record of 14 wins, six draws and five losses.

However, both teams have struggled to find consistency over the course of the season, with each side struggling to score goals consistently. The goal difference between the two sides stands at -6, meaning that PSG are looking to improve their attacking performance to secure promotion to the Premier League next season.

Despite the challenges faced by both teams, there is still much to play for. Both clubs are eager to climb up the table and qualify for the Champions League knockout stages, so any victory against Lyon would be a significant boost to their confidence.

In conclusion, the potential clash between PSG and Lyon could provide an exciting and entertaining match, with both teams vying for a place in the Champions League group stage. With Hakimi back in action, it remains to be seen whether he can help PSG secure a win or continue to struggle against his former club, Real Madrid. Regardless of the outcome, both teams are determined to deliver a strong performance and secure their places in Europe.
