Madrid, Dec. 9 -- Athletic Bilbao faces major defensive problems for its vital game at hometo reigning Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
The muscle injury suffered by central defender Aymeric Laporte, coupled with Aitor Paredes' suspension after he received his third yellow card of the tournament away to Slavia Prague,leaves Athletic coach Ernesto Valverde with Dani Vivian as the only available central defenderin his first-team squad.
Valverde will have to decide whether to use former PSG left-back Yuri Berchiche as a makeshift central defender or hand a first-team debut to B-team defenders Jon de Luis or Ander Izagirre, which is far from ideal against an attack as lethal as PSG's.
Athletic got an important moral...
