This Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Le Havre (13th) at the Stade Océane for Matchday 24 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season (kick-off at 9:05 PM, CET). PSG coach Luis Enrique must choose his starting eleven, taking into account the opponent, upcoming matches, and the risk of suspensions, after having selected the squad for this game.
There are always doubts about Luis Enrique’s choices, given that he has fostered strong competition within the team, encouraged his players to be versatile, and knows how to rotate the squad to give some players rest while building confidence in others. Just three days after the Champions League playoff second leg against Monaco, rotation would seem logical. But there was also rotation last weekend, and the next match is on Friday (again against Monaco, but in Ligue 1), which leaves some time.
It’s also important to keep in mind that absences continue in midfield, which adds to the difficulties. There are fewer options available, but we also need to find ways to give some players a rest. For example, Warren Zaïre-Emery has reached 30 consecutive starts.
Possible lineup:
Kvaratskhelia – Ramos – Mbaye
Doué – Lee – Dro
Mendes – Pacho – Zabarnyi – Hakimi
Safonov
Substitutes – Chevalier, Marin, Beraldo, Hernandez, Marquinhos, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Barcola.
Out – Dembélé, Mayulu, Ndjantou, Neves, Ruiz (injuries).
Possible suspension for yellow card: None.
