Coupe de France matches against teams from lower divisions are often an opportunity for Ligue 1 clubs to rotate, whether voluntary or forced.
This Saturday evening, Paris Saint-Germain travels to the pitch of US Orléans, for its round of 16 of the Coupe de France, with a group which should be reshuffled.

In its medical update of the day, the capital club announced seven packages, actual or potential.
There are the usual long-term injured: Milan Skriniar “has started his rehabilitation work at the club”, Nuno Mendes “continues his individual sessions” and Presnel Kimpembe “is carrying out rehabilitation work”, indicates the club.
Alexandre Letellier, also, already out of the match against Lens due to a viral infection, is “gradually returning to training”.
Furthermore, Luis Enrique already knows that he will not be able to count on two usual starters: Gianluigi Donnarumma and Manuel Ugarte.
The first, "victim of a knee shock in Lens", "will not make the trip to Orléans" and should therefore leave the field open in the cages to Keylor Navas, who had played his first match of the season against Revel.
The second, “slightly injured in the thigh against Lens” also, “will be preserved for the meeting” this Saturday.
Finally, and more surprisingly, Nordi Mukiele, whose winter is animated by the rumor of a transfer to Bayern Munich, is out due to... a “violent ball received in the face during the training session of yesterday.”
The right-back “is taking an exam this morning”.
Risky Business.
