PSG predicted XI v Bayern Munich: Warren Zaire-Emery to replace Achraf Hakimi

As expected, Warren Zaire-Emery is set to fill in for Achraf Hakimi at right-back when Paris Saint-Germain face Bayern Munich in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final.

PSG head to the Allianz Riviera with a one-goal lead to protect, having won the first leg 5-4 at the Parc des Princes. However, they will have to defend that lead without Hakimi, who suffered a thigh injury in the closing stages of that game. Should PSG reach the final, the Moroccan is expected to be fit.

With Zaire-Emery slotting into the right-back role, Fabián Ruiz is expected to come into the field, having recently made his return from a knee injury. In attack, it is Désiré Doué who may get the nod over Bradley Barcola.
