With three additional absentees compared to the match against Reims, Luis Enrique does not have 1000 options to compose his starting lineup against Rennes on Friday evening at the Parc des Princes for the 6th day of Ligue 1 (9 p.m. on BeIN Sports).
Désiré Doué, Vitinha and probably Nuno Mendes sick and absent from the last training, are added to the packages of Marco Asensio, Gonçalo Ramos, Presnel Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez.
In this context, Luis Enrique will play the card of versatility and should align Beraldo as left back despite an extremely delicate performance in Reims last Saturday (1-1). At his side, the Spanish technician should not reserve any big surprises by aligning Hakimi, Marquinhos and Pacho. So Milan Skriniar, has only played one minute since the start of the season, it seems complicated to see him in the rotation, especially against a Rennes team which can press high in sequences.
In the middle the absence of Vitinha, a real metronome of Luis Enrique, should allow us to see a trio composed of Fabian Ruiz, Warren Zaire-Emery and Joao Neves, who maintains a high level of performance despite his team’s last two dull matches. “He is perfectly adaptable to my idea of play: he has a vital characteristic for us of not losing the ball. He has the vision of the game, his physical power, his intelligence, his relationship with his teammates. He also brings intensity, an offensive and defensive rhythm,” Luis Enrique said of him at a press conference.
Up front, Kolo Muani should continue with injuries to Asensio and Ramos. In what positions? On the right with Dembélé in a free position or in the axis with the number on the right side. Luis Enrique has already worked on both systems in the past. Unless he wants to blow Bradley Barcola to start. In his position the alternative could be Kang-in Lee or even Ibrahim Mbaye.
The probable composition of PSG: Donnarumma (l.) – Hakimi, Marquinhos (cap.), Pacho, Beraldo – Ruiz, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha – Dembélé, Kolo Muani, Barcola.
