PSG predicted XI v Rennes: Matvey Safonov to remain in goal, Ousmane Dembélé and Vitinha rested

Paris Saint-Germain have a key week coming up as they prepare to face AS Monaco in a UEFA Champions League play-off. However, prior to that, PSG face Stade Rennais in Ligue 1 on Friday evening. For that encounter, Luis Enrique may rest a key player.

Fabián Ruiz and Senny Mayulu both miss this game through injury, whilst Quentin Ndjantou is also a more long-term absentee. It leaves options in midfield slightly limited, with Vitinha also expected to be rested for this encounter.

He is one of the big names expected to be rested. Ousmane Dembélé is the other. It could give Goncalo Ramos a rare chance to impress from the start for PSG. Matvey Safonov is expected to keep his place in goal, ahead of France international Lucas Chevalier.
