No major absence for PSG against RC Lens. While the Northerners are already deprived of seven players and Andy Diouf and Przemyslaw Frankowski are announced as uncertain despite their presence in the group this Saturday, Luis Enrique will, on the contrary, be able to count on an almost complete group.
Apart from the long-term absentees Presnel Kimpembe, Lucas Hernandez and Gonçalo Ramos who will obviously not be back this Saturday, only Lucas Beraldo will be missing. The Brazilian defender is suspended for the 10th day of Ligue 1 due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Beraldo has already been sanctioned 3 times in less than 10 matches, against Lille, Brest and finally Strasbourg on October 19.
A change in the attacking trio?
This suspension deprives Luis Enrique of a possible turnover in defense. The hinge composed of Willian Pacho and Marquinhos will certainly start, while Nuno Mendes, recovered from his stomach aches, and Achraf Hakimi should occupy the corridors. The last Italian rampart Gianluigi Donnarumma will guard the Parisian goal.
A change cannot be ruled out in attack. After having established Kang-In Lee and Ousmane Dembélé in a false number 9 role, Luis Enrique could return to a more classic formula and trust Marco Asensio again in this position. On the wings, Bradley Barcola and Dembélé are expected to start.
The probable composition of PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (cap.), Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz – Dembélé, Asensio, Barcola.
