Besides Injured Dembélé
Enrique Leaves 4 Stars in Paris
PSG’s squad list for the match against Strasbourg has been announced, and Luis Enrique decided to leave three key players out to rest ahead of the crucial match against Arsenal.
According to reports, Luis Enrique, the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, has made important decisions for the 32nd matchday of Ligue 1 against Strasbourg. Ousmane Dembélé will be absent due to injury, and four other key players—Gianluigi Donnarumma, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi, and Nuno Mendes—have been rested. This comes despite PSG having already secured the Ligue 1 title.
Enrique has selected a significantly changed but still strong lineup for today’s match. However, the team’s main focus seems to be on the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal against Arsenal on Wednesday. PSG won the first leg in London by a single goal. Strasbourg, today’s opponent, will not be an easy challenge, as they are on an 11-match unbeaten streak.
Donnarumma, Marquinhos, Hakimi, and Mendes have the opportunity to save their energy for the crucial Champions League match. However, Dembélé’s condition remains uncertain; his muscle injury in the first leg against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium has cast doubt over his availability for the return leg.
List of players called up by Luis Enrique:
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Fabián Ruiz, Gonçalo Ramos, Désiré Doué, Vitinha, Kang-in Lee, Lucas Hernandez, Senny Mayulu, Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Noeham Kamara, Lucas Beraldo, Matvey Safonov, Axel Taps, Ibrahima Mbaye, Willian Pacho, Louis Mouquet, Arnau Tenas, João Neves.
