Luis Enrique had to be creative. The Parisian coach composes with a cascade of injuries which forces him to rethink his team against Auxerre this Saturday. Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, Marquinhos and João Neves are all packages, forcing the Spanish technician to tinker and propose experimental solutions. Its revealed eleven reserves two major surprises that will not fail to be talked about.
PSG: Luis Enrique put on two risky bets
The first surprise concerns the attack. Luis Enrique decided to trust Lee Kang-in in the center-forward role, abandoning Gonçalo Ramos. The South Korean, usually used in a more remote role, will have to take responsibility for the attacking sector. He will be supported by Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the sides, forming an unprecedented trident in 4-3-3.
In the midfield, Warren Zaïre-Emery finds a tenure that could relaunch his season. The young French international, who has lost his holder in recent weeks, takes advantage of the absence of João Neves to try to score points. He will evolve alongside Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz, forming a promising creative trio.

Lucas Hernandez, the other defensive surprise
The second surprise is in defense with the tenure of Lucas Hernandez as the left side. The French international takes the place of Nuno Mendes, a daring choice of Luis Enrique who puts on the experience of the former Munichois. He will be associated with Achraf Hakimi on the right side, while the central hinge will be made up of Willian Pacho and Zabarnyi, Marquinhos being unavailable.
Despite these tactical absences and innovations, the Parisian eleven remains competitive with players accustomed to the very high level. The objective is clear: to reconnect with the victory after the defeat against Marseille and ideally prepare the crucial trip to Barcelona on Wednesday. For this, Luis Enrique hopes a performance without injuries and above all, three saving points.
