The rotation is in full swing in the Parisian ranks, in the heart of an autumn marked by the pace of a hellish calendar. Used to playing every three days, Luis Enrique's team enters his second consecutive match on Breton soil, on the Lorient pitch, four days after his victory in Brest (3-0).
In Finistère, Luis Enrique had already made a significant turnover with the absences at kick-off of Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Nuno Mendes. This should still be the case in Lorient this Wednesday evening (kick-off at 7 p.m.).
Luis Enrique, PSG coach.
A new eleven is still expected. Double scorer and man of the match in Brest, Achraf Hakimi is on his right side. Luis Enrique has no shortage of options to replace him. Conversely, Ousmane Dembélé could start for the first time since his return from injury.
Luis Enrique shares playing time
The Ballon d'Or is expected at the forefront of an attack where Désiré Doué could also continue to build on his good form. Young Mbaye could also get playing time, as could Warren Zaire-Emery. Joao Neves makes his return to the group and is applying for a starting place but he will have to be content with coming off the bench, unlike Fabian Ruiz, who is still in the infirmary. Titi Ndjantou will have a card to play.
In central defense, captain Marquinhos could also return to the starting lineup, but the identity of his evening partner remains to be determined. Nuno Mendes is expected to start. Lucas Chevalier will hold his place in the goals.
The expected lineup for PSG : Chevalier – Mayulu, Marquinhos (c), Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Ndjantou, Vitinha, Doué – Mbaye, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.
