This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain take on Lens at Stade Bollaert in the round of 32 of the Coupe de France 2024-2025 (kick-off 9pm, broadcast on beIN SPORTS in France). Paris coach Luis Enrique must choose his starting 11, taking into account the opponent, upcoming matches and suspension risks, after having formed the Parisian squad for this match.
PSG have passed all their recent tests, and now need to finish on a high note before the winter break. This simplifies the choices a little, since there’s no need to think about the next match. But precedents do count, and could start to weigh heavily on certain players (Willian Pacho or Achraf Hakimi in particular).
In any case, only the staff have all the information they need to make the right choices in terms of competition and tactical analysis of their opponents. With Luis Enrique at the helm, it’s hard to say who the team will be, but we can hope to get close.
Possible line-up:
Doué – Ramos – Dembélé
Ruiz – Neves – Zaïre-Emery
Hernandez – Beraldo – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Safonov
Substitutes – Mouquet, Tenas, Mendes, Pacho, Zague, Lee, Mayulu, Vitinha, Barcola, Mbaye.
Out – Donnarumma (blessure), Kimpembe (reprise), Asensio, El Hannach, Kolo Muani, Skriniar (choix).
Possible suspension for yellow card: Hakimi.
This would be effective for the Champions Trophy on January 5 against AS Monaco.
