The confrontation between PSG and Stade Rennais promises to be challenging for the Parisians, who will have to deal with a reduced squad for this sixth day of Ligue 1. After slipping away precious points against Reims, the Parisian club aims for a strong comeback, but faces many absences.
Reduced squad of PSG
For this crucial match, coach Luis Enrique has confirmed the presence of only 18 players in the selected group. This number reflects the notable absences affecting the team, leading to a difficult situation for PSG.
Among the absentees are key players such as Gianluigi Donnarumma, Nuno Mendes, Marco Asensio, Vitinha, as well as Presnel Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez. These injuries will surely impact PSG’s playing dynamics, which will need to rely on its alternatives.
Call for new players
In light of these absences, young Naoufel El Hannach, playing as a right-back, has been called up for the third time this season. This opportunity to play within the first team will be a chance for him to prove himself on the pitch at Parc des Princes.
Composition of the Parisian group
The group selected by Luis Enrique for the match against Rennes consists of:
- Goalkeepers: Safonov, Arnau Tenas
- Defenders: Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Skriniar, Zague, El Hannach, Pacho
- Midfielders: Ruiz, Lee Kang-In, Mayulu, Zaïre-Emery, Joao Neves
- Forwards: Dembélé, Kolo Muani, Barcola, Mbaye
This composition presents a mix of young talents and experience, and it will be interesting to see how the team manages to cope with the absences of key players and impose its game against Rennes.
It is therefore crucial for PSG to make the most of this reduced group, especially since every point counts in the battle for the title in Ligue 1.
