In the absence of Donnarumma, PSG are hesitant to trust Matvey Safonov in the Champions League, who has not played a match for more than three months.
Present against Brest following the birth of his child, Gianluigi Donnarumma was injured during the match against Brest and will not be able to be on the pitch this week for the start of the Champions League against Girona. A small blow for PSG, which certainly has three goalkeepers, but has some uncertainties behind the Italian in this position. Arnau Tenas is considered the number 3, but he could well start against his compatriots this Wednesday. Because the number 2, Matvey Safonov, has not played a match since the beginning of June, coming out of a preparation truncated by a virus, then a total absence of match. He was supposed to play with Russia during the international break, but the match where he was supposed to be lined up in Vietnam was canceled for climatic reasons.

As a result, Luis Enrique is very hesitant to throw the Russian in at the deep end for such a match, and could ensure by calling on Arnau Tenas, who already saw the spotlight last season with PSG, suggests L'Equipe. The Spanish goalkeeper had held his own last winter, notably with seven decisive saves in the victory against Le Havre when Donnarumma had been sent off. For its part, Le Parisien claims that Safonov still has priority to guard the Parisian goals this Wednesday, even if the first training sessions of the week will certainly be decisive in allowing the PSG coach to decide. In any case, the local newspaper claims that the Russian is not at all destabilized by this sudden starting position that could await him, and if he is discreet in the locker room, he has already proven in a few interviews in the Russian press that he came to Paris to show his worth, and even to go for the number 1 spot in the years to come.
