PSG’s options to stop Lamine Yamal in the absence of Nuno Mendes

Paris Saint-Germain full-back Nuno Mendes has been ruled out of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash against FC Barcelona after suffering an injury against Strasbourg. Writer Manu Tournoux evaluates how manager Luis Enrique can neutralize Barcelona's in-form winger Lamine Yamal without the Portuguese defender, who previously enjoyed success defending against him.

Tournoux suggests Lucas Digne represents a direct alternative, though his form raises questions following inconsistent recent performances. Other tactical solutions explored by the writer include starting the more defensive Lucas Hernandez or making a tactical gamble by shifting Warren Zaire-Emery to left-back while reinstating João Neves in midfield.
