Paris Saint-Germain will have to cope with several absences as they host Le Mans FC at the Parc des Princes this Saturday evening.
First and foremost is Ousmane Dembélé, whom the club’s management has decided to grant some extra rest following the international break, during which he featured in all four of France’s matches. Nuno Mendes, who was also very busy on international duty with Portugal, is similarly sidelined. Senny Mayulu, who picked up an injury whilst on international duty with the France Under-21s, will also be absent, as will young goalkeeper Alessandro Longoni .
And whilst Luis Enrique is expected to make several changes to his usual starting XI, some regular substitutes could take the opportunity to get some playing time. Having come on as a substitute six times since joining PSG, Mika Godts is set to make his first start for Les Rouge et Bleu. Ferran Torres, Lucas Beraldo and Lucas Digne are also expected to start the match.
