Beckham poised for PSG bow

LONDON — David Beckham is in line to make his Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) debut when they face Sochaux in Ligue 1 tomorrow.

Report by Soccerway

The former England captain trained with the Ligue 1 leaders on Wednesday and, despite lacking match fitness, could come off the bench at Stade Auguste Bonal.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is well clear on top of the scoring charts in the league with 21 and is likely to start against Sochaux after being sent off against Valencia on Tuesday.

The Swede has helped PSG move six points clear at the top and will be given playing time as he faces a spell on the sidelines in the Champions League.

Sochaux are winless in their past three league outings, sitting in the relegation zone and with just 22 goals in 24 games to their name, and are unlikely to trouble Carlo Ancelotti’s men.

If PSG are to be put under pressure, Lyon must turn their poor form around as they travel to seventh-placed Bordeaux tomorrow.

Consecutive losses have been costly for Remi Garde’s men and while their attentions may have turned to the Europa League, PSG could surge away if they are unable to return to winning ways.

While PSG have impressed, both their nearest rivals — Lyon and Marseille — have faltered.
