A fan of surprising choices, Luis Enrique should not change their habits for this resumption match against Toulouse, this Friday evening, at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 9 p.m.). The first meeting in a hellish sequence leading up to the end of year celebrations for the capital club.

Undefeated leader in Ligue 1, the reigning champion remains in a comfortable position at the championship level. But his position is much more delicate in the Champions League, where he has won only one of his first four matches. In this context, what choices will Luis Enrique make this Friday evening?

A mixed eleven for this resumption match

Two options are possible for the Spanish technician: align an eleven close to the typical team to carry out a dress rehearsal and give rhythm to his major players before the crucial trip to Munich to challenge Bayern. Or carry out a wide rotation to preserve your senior players and limit the risks.

All scenarios are possible, but the strong elements of the squad like Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembélé, Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Joao Neves or Pacho should have playing time this Friday evening, but Marquinhos is suspended and the left back position questions. The trend would be towards a mixed eleven. The last question will concern the goalkeeper: can Donnarumma still be relegated to the bench? This is not the trend.

The expected lineup for PSG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Skriniar, Beraldo or Pacho, Zague or Beraldo – Zaire-Emery, Neves, Ruiz – Dembélé, Asensio, Barcola.
