When answering journalists' questions this Friday at the Campus, Luis Enrique focused mainly on the state of the pitch.
“I will decide who will play and how when I see the state of the pitch.
I hope it will be in good condition.
I have doubts,” warned the Parisian coach when a brand new turf has only just been laid in Orléans and the temperatures have dropped significantly this week.
To hear him say, the Spaniard will therefore not take any risks with the physique of his players.
If conditions allow, he could decide to restart some elements lacking playing time. In the cage, Arnau Tenas and Keylor Navas are in the balance.
The latter started at Revel (0-9) two weeks ago, but his competitor was absent.
The Spaniard could, therefore, have the coach's favor for this meeting, especially since he was not unworthy each time he had to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma, absent this Saturday at the Stade de la Source for the 16th final of the Coupe de France, due to knee pain.
As in the previous round, Luis Enrique could be tempted to align four offensive players against the 12th in National, namely Kylian Mbappé, Randal Kolo Muani, Marco Asensio and Gonçalo Ramos.
In the midfield, Cher Ndour, for whom the trend today is that he remains at PSG, will perhaps have the opportunity to have his second start of the season.
Fabian Ruiz has recovered from his shoulder injury.
He played again last Sunday, in Lens (0-2), and is therefore applying to start this meeting.
The versatile Carlos Soler also appears as a potential starter for this match in which Nordi Mukiele will apparently be able to participate.
Coveted by Bayern Munich, the Parisian defender received a ball in the face during training on Thursday.
Given the questions surrounding his future, it will still be appropriate to follow what Enrique decides concerning him.
In defense, the Spanish technician could be tempted to make Marquinhos or even Lucas Hernandez breathe, which would particularly benefit the Brazilian Lucas Beraldo, whose third appearance in the colors of PSG would be this.
The probable composition:
Tenas - Soler, Danilo, Beraldo, Mukiele - Ruiz, Ndour - Asensio, Ramos, Mbappé, Kolo Muani
