Paris Saint-Germain officially launches its season. This Saturday at 9 p.m., the reigning French champions welcome FC Lorient for the first day of Ligue 1. After a turbulent summer marked by a change of coach – Luis Enrique having replaced Christophe Galtier – and the arrival of ten new recruits (with Ousmane Dembélé), the club of the capital will try to pocket the three points and thus fill up with confidence after a mixed summer preparation (two wins, one draw and two defeats).
For this meeting, the Spanish technician, new strong man of the Red and Blue, will however be deprived of many executives. If the former Barça coach confirmed the dismissal of Kylian Mbappé, Nordi Mukiele, Nuno Mendes, Alexandre Letellier, Juan Bernat and Presnel Kimpembe will also be missing. Victim of a viral syndrome and likely to leave the club, Neymar is also forfeited. Therefore, Luis Enrique should opt for a 4-3-3. In goal, Gianluigi Donnarumma should logically start this match, just behind a four-man defense.
PSG with its recruits but without Mbappé and Neymar!
Arrived from Bayern Munich during the summer, Lucas Hernandez is thus expected to start. On the right side, it is no real surprise that Achraf Hakimi should have the confidence of his new coach. Finally, Milan Skriniar will accompany captain Marquinhos in the central hinge. In midfield, Manuel Ugarte, Warren Zaire-Emery and Vitinha are announced holders. Just like Marco Asensio and Kang-In Lee, who should support Gonçalo Ramos, loaned with option to buy by Benfica this summer and called to carry the attack of his people.
Tenth of the previous exercise, the Hakes still led by Régis Le Bris will have honored four preparation meetings. Undefeated against Concarneau (3-3), Le Havre (2-0) and Nantes (3-1), the Breton club ended in defeat against the English of Bournemouth (0-2). Facing PSG, the Lorient technician, deprived of Aiyegun Tosin, Igor Silva, Quentin Boisgard, Benjamin Mendy and Ayman Kari, could opt for a 4-5-1.
In the cages, Yvon Mvogo will thus be protected by Gédéon Kalulu, Bamo Meïté, Julien Laporte and Montassar Talbi. In the midfield, Vincent Le Goff, Jean-Victor Makengo, Laurent Abergel, Romain Faivre and Théo Le Bris should start this gala meeting. Finally, an uncertain time for an injury to the adductors, the former scorer of Olympique de Marseille, Bamba Dieng, will have the heavy task of shaking the Parisian nets…
