Sirigu Set to Face Guingamp

Tuesday, May 5

According to ESPN FC and Bleacher Report writer Jonathan Johnson, Sirigu's injury layoff is at an end:

The Italy international was given the start in PSG's pivotal meeting with Lille on April 25, but he appeared to roll his ankle early in the match. He carried on for several minutes before being replaced by Nicolas Douchez, per Johnson:

The 28-year-old has been Les Parisiens' designated starter in goal for years, and while replacement Douchez has plenty of experience, he hasn't played any true meaningful minutes for the club in the past few seasons.
