This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain face Lens at the Stade Bollaert in the 2026 Trophée des Champions (kick-off at 8:45 PM, CET). PSG coach Luis Enrique must select his starting XI, weighing up the opposition, upcoming fixtures, and suspension risks after finalizing the squad for the match.
There is always uncertainty surrounding Luis Enrique’s selections; he is known for springing surprises and has a wealth of options at his disposal tonight. There are no absentees, though squad management comes into play: some players need game time to build momentum, while others may need to avoid overload.
We will have to wait for confirmation of the lineup, though we are making an educated guess here based on the UEFA Super Cup victory last Wednesday and likely rotation strategies. It is worth noting that there is a gap before the next game, as the Ligue 1 season kicks off next Sunday against Rennes.
Possible lineup:
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Akliouche
Ruiz – Vitinha – Doué
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos- Zaïre-Emery
Safonov.
Substitutes: Chevalier, Longoni, Digne, Hakimi, Hernandez, Zabarnyi, Beraldo, Dro, Mayulu, Ndjantou, Barcola, Mbaye.
Out – Neves (rest), Godts, Torres (signing this Saturday).
Potential suspension due to yellow cards: None.
