PSG: The group for Lorient with 3 big absentees and an important return!

On to the 10th day of Ligue 1. This Wednesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain travels to Moustoir to challenge FC Lorient in order to confirm their success in Brest and maintain the lead in the standings.

For this meeting, Luis Enrique can rely on an ultra competitive group despite 3 major absentees. Indeed, Achraf Hakimi, Fabian Ruiz and Kang-In Lee are not part of the Spanish coach's group.

However, the Red and Blue can count on the return of Portuguese midfielder Joao Neves. Having been injured during the Champions League match against Atalanta on September 17, the 21-year-old is finally back. Number 87 should a priori start the match on the bench and enter during the game to regain his sensations.

Which starting 11 against Lorient?

Facing Lorient, the capital club wants to continue its momentum and not lose points. The objective will therefore be clear: win in Brittany to maintain first place and thus prepare well for the following matches against Nice this Saturday but especially against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on November 4. Luis Enrique should therefore field a solid team to tame the Merlus.

Here is the probable 11 for the Rouge et Bleu vs Lorient: Chevalier – Mayulu, Marquinhos (c), Beraldo, Nuno Mendes – Vtinha, Zaire-Emery, Doué – Mbaye, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia
