Defensive Absences Hit Paris Saint-Germain Ahead of Bayern Munich Clash

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique confirmed the absence of Achraf Hakimi and goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from the squad set to face Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final tomorrow, Wednesday evening (20:00 GMT+1).

Their exclusion comes as a result of right thigh injuries, depriving the Parisian club of two key players for this crucial encounter that will determine who advances to the final.

The Spanish coach is expected to deploy Warren Zaïre-Emery at right-back to compensate for the absences, while reports indicate that the rest of the key players are ready to participate in the match.

In preparation for the upcoming summit, the team held its final training session at the Allianz Arena today, Monday, with the coaching staff focusing on putting the finishing touches on their strategy.

PSG enters the match following a 2-2 draw against Lorient last Saturday in Ligue 1, aiming to maintain their 5-4 aggregate lead from the first leg.

Despite these significant defensive absences, Paris Saint-Germain aims to leverage the strength of the rest of its squad to secure passage from the German club's home ground.
