Facing Revel in the Coupe de France on Sunday, Luis Enrique will certainly offer a unique starting lineup.
After winning the Champions Trophy on Wednesday evening against Toulouse, Paris Saint-Germain will play its second match in 2024, Sunday evening, at 8:45 p.m. The capital club will face US Revel, a Regional 1 club, in the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France.
For this meeting against the “Little Thumb” of the competition, Luis Enrique will have to deal with numerous absences. Goalkeeper Arnau Tenas, who could have gained additional playing time, was injured in training at the start of the week. Wednesday evening, it was Milan Skriniar’s turn to have a physical problem during the Champions Trophy. As for Achraf Hakimi and Kang-in Lee, they left to join their respective selections to compete in the African Cup of Nations (CAN) and the Asian Cup. Nuno Mendes and Presnel Kimpembe, unavailable for a long time, are also unlikely to participate in this Coupe de France meeting.
