In five days, PSG will face Lorient at the Parc des Princes. Luis Enrique will field a starting XI with some default picks.

On Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain will officially launch its season by hosting FC Lorient at the Parc des Princes at 9 p.m. on the first day of Ligue 1. Luis Enrique has probably learned several lessons from the Asian tour to build the eleven who will face the Hakes.

In goal, Gigio Donnarumma will be established. In defense, Lucas Hernandez should start at the left-back position, since the Portuguese Nuno Mendes is still injured. The central hinge will be composed by the pair Milan Skriniar-Marquinhos, while Achraf Hakimi will logically occupy the place of left-back. In a 4-3-3 tactical scheme, the “Titi” Warren Zaire-Emery should have his chance in the midfield, where he could be accompanied by Ugarte and Vitinha, unless Luis Enrique opts for Fabian Ruiz in LEFT. Marco Verratti, overweight vacation income, would therefore start on the bench of the Rouge et Bleu. In the offensive sector, Hugo Ekitike will probably be aligned as center forward. The former Rémois is likely to be surrounded by Carlos Soler and Asensio. Despite a winning comeback against Jeonbuk Motors, Neymar will therefore surely still be preserved.
