Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain will play its 23rd match of the season – 16 in Ligue 1, 6 in the Champions League – at the Bollaert stadium. Thus, coach Luis Enrique could be tempted to rotate his squad.
22 matches in 18 weeks since the resumption of the 2024-2025 season. Not to mention the matches played with the national teams. Luis Enrique could spare certain executives of his squad for this 32nd final of the Coupe de France. “In general, for a first round of a competition like the Coupe de France, we are not used to having an opponent of this size. I don't think I'll rotate it. I have a lot of options for the starting 11. We are the champions and we want to continue to win. »
Saforov or Tenas in goal?
First of all, PSG will have to do without their goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarummavictim of a facial injury during the trip to Monaco last Wednesday. Today, Luis Enrique meant: “He is fine, he has no pain.” It's a difficult injury, with no repercussions for him. He was very lucky that the impact was not on the eye. » According to L'Equipe, if Matveï Saforov would be the logical starter, since he has already played seven times this season, it cannot be ruled out that the Spanish coach tries Arnau Tenas. The 23-year-old Spaniard arrived this summer from Barcelona and has not yet had a single minute.
Hit in the thigh against Lyon, left back Nuno Mendes was absent during the trip to the Principality on Wednesday. At a press conference, Luis Enrique indicated that the Portuguese was recovered and that he was applying for tomorrow.
