This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) faces Paris FC (14th) at the Parc des Princes for Matchday 17 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season (kick-off at 8:45 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 Parisian squad for this encounter.
PSG was able to rest during the international break and take the time to prepare, with the Trophée des Champions match against Olympique de Marseille scheduled for Thursday. This seems to allow for some time without having to worry too much about managing the players’ physical condition. This suggests that coach Luis Enrique and his staff will primarily choose the best possible team to start the year well.
However, this is not enough to guarantee the chosen team, given the fierce competition for places and the need for versatility. Not forgetting the analysis of the opponent and the exact condition of each player for a long-term plan to be as competitive as possible throughout the season. Several questions may therefore remain. In particular for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who was rested yesterday due to a knock he received in training.
Possible lineup:
Barcola – Dembélé – Doué
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery
Chevalier
Remplaçants – Marin, Vignaud, Beraldo, Hernandez, Zabarnyi, Mayulu, Kvaratskhelia, Nsoki, Ramos.
Unavailable – Lee, Ndjantou, Safonov (injury), Hakimi, Mbaye (AFCON), James (illness)
Possible suspension for yellow card: None
