PSG, towards an unexpected return

PSG faces Revel (R1) on Sunday, in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France. For this meeting, Luis Enrique should call on a ghost, in the person of Keylor Navas.

Second match of the year 2024 for Paris Saint-Germain. Four days after winning against Toulouse, as part of the Champions Trophy (2-0), Kylian Mbappé’s partners continue on Sunday with a trip to the Pierre-Fabre stadium in Castres, to face Revel. Faced with a barrage of absences for different reasons, Luis Enrique should opt for something new at the goalkeeper position. For the first time this season, Keylor Navas could start.

The information was mentioned on Saturday by The Team, which foresees a big comeback for the Costa Rican goalkeeper. While Gianluigi Donnarumma will be left to rest and Arnau Tenas is on the sidelines, it is therefore the thirty-seven-year-old veteran who should take advantage of the windfall to wear the Parisian jersey again in an official match. And here again, this is a great first in almost a year. Because if Navas played a preparation match this summer, he has not actually played with PSG since January 23, 2023, already in the Coupe de France during a round of 16 against the country of Cassel ( 7-0).

What level ?

It remains to be seen what level will display a Keylor Navas whose last meeting dates back to September 12. It was with his selection during a friendly match against the United Arab Emirates (1-4). There is no doubt that the former Real Madrid player will be keen to be decisive on the few opportunities that a Revel team playing in Regional 1 could get.
