It is possible that Luis Enrique will turn slightly against Lens (Saturday 9 p.m.), before a shock against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League (Wednesday).
It's a new series of important matches for Luis Enrique's PSG. In a season without downtime for many clubs, that of the capital will host Lens less than a week after the success obtained in Marseille during the Classic (0-3). The Asturian has the habit of never fielding the same starting team twice in a row and it is a priori probable that he will not deviate from the rule on Saturday evening at the Parc des Princes on the occasion of the reception of Sang and Gold defeated in the Northern derby against LOSC (0-2).
Fabian Ruiz in the middle trio and Asensio in false number 9?
Questioned this Friday at a press conference on a possible lack of interest in Randal Kolo Muani in the tough and who did not come off the bench in Marseille, Luis Enrique highlighted his confidence in the entirety of his band. “I rely on all my players, without exception. I trust my decisions in matches and also in training. A player who doesn't play with me can turn things around in training.”
Forced to juggle between Ligue 1 and the Champions League – Atlético de Madrid will appear at the Park on Wednesday – the Spanish technician could make some changes in his starting XI compared to the one who started the Classic at Orange Velodrome. The rearguard should not move, both at the goalkeeper level with Gianluigi Donnarumma, and at the defender level while Lucas Beraldo will be suspended against Lens. According to our colleagues from Le Parisien, it is in the midfield and up front that things could especially move. In demand during the last meetings, Joao Neves could take a breather before returning to C1. Thus, he could be replaced by Fabian Ruiz in the middle trio. Up front, Marco Asensio could benefit from the role of false number 9.
The probable composition of PSG against Lens (selon Le Parisien): Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz – Dembélé, Asensio, Barcola.
