PSG hosts Lorient for their Matchday 31 clash in Ligue 1 on Saturday, May 2, at Parc des Princes. The team is fielding a heavily rotated squad as they prepare for an upcoming Champions League fixture.
As of early Tuesday, PSG leads the Ligue 1 table with 69 points. They have won four of their last five matches in all competitions, although they suffered a setback with a 2-1 loss to Lyon earlier this month.
Injuries are affecting the squad significantly. Achraf Hakimi is ruled out due to a hamstring injury, while Lucas Chevalier is unavailable because of a thigh problem. Additionally, Goncalo Ramos is suspended after receiving a red card in the previous match.
Fabian Ruiz has returned from a knee injury and is expected to start. This could bolster PSG’s chances as they look to maintain their lead over Lens, who sit six points behind with four games remaining.
The match will kick off at 4 PM BST on Saturday. Fans can catch the action on the official Ligue 1+ streaming platform in the UK.
PSG’s possible starting XI includes several young players, such as 19-year-old Renato Marin. Observers are keen to see how this lineup will perform against Lorient amidst these changes.
With key players sidelined, Luis Enrique faces challenges in maintaining momentum heading into crucial fixtures. The outcome of this match could impact PSG’s title race as they aim for their next league victory.
