Roger Schmidt has announced the line-up for the game against Leicester City in the second quarter-final of the Conference League. Compared to last week, the trainer has access to Erick Gutiérrez, who is in midfield. The injured Olivier Boscagli is replaced by Jordan Teze. The kick-off in the Philips Stadium is at 6.45 pm.
During last week’s 0-0 draw, Ibrahim Sangaré, Mario Götze and Joey Veerman formed the midfield. On paper, Veerman now plays in the vanguard, making way for Gutiérrez in midfield. The injured Noni Madueke is not among them. The Englishman had to drop out injured in the game against RKC Waalwijk on Sunday (2-0 win).
Teze is the new name in the rear. The 21-year-old defender replaces Boscagli, who is out for the rest of the current season with a knee injury. Teze is flanked by Philipp Max, captain André Ramalho and Mauro Júnior. Yvon Mvogo is again preferred over Joël Drommel, who, according to Schmidt, no longer has to count on much playing time this year.
PSV line-up: Mvogo, Mauro Junior, Ramalho, Teze, Max; Gutierrez, Sangare; Veerman, Gotze, Gakpo; Zahavic
Leicester City lineup: Schmeichel, Pereira, Fofana, Evans, Castagne; Tielemans; Albrighton, Maddison, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes; Iheanacho
