That’s it ! Paris Saint-Germain’s 2023-2024 season begins today on the green rectangle. The Parisians host Le Havre for their first preparation match of the summer. A meeting which will take place at the new PSG training center, the PSG Campus located in Poissy. Before leaving on tour in Japan for ten days, Luis Enrique decided to summon 27 players. The 6 PSG summer recruits are there, as are the Mbappé brothers. On the other hand, Neymar, Kimpembe, Mukiele, in recovery, are not present, just like Nuno Mendes, injured. Soler, Bernat, Paredes, Wijnaldum, Diallo are also not part of the extended group of the 53-year-old Spanish tactician.
On the side of Le Havre, some players left during the off-season, others arrived. However, Luka Elsner’s group remains essentially the same as that of last season which ended as French Ligue 2 champions. The Le Havre will play their third friendly match this afternoon after two victories against the Slovenian club Triglav (9-2) then against Caen (3-1). Today, both coaches should give playing time to many players, so rotations should take place fairly regularly. On the side of Luis Enrique, we find a usual 4-3-3. Hernandez, Ugarte, Asensio and Lee Kang-In start this meeting. In the Le Havre ranks, it’s a classic 3-4-3 set up.
Team compositions :
Paris SG : Letellier – Hakimi, Danilo, Hernandez, Kurzawa – Zaire-Emery, Ugarte, Ruiz – Asensio, Gharbi, Lee Kang-In
