Luis Enrique could shuffle PSG attack for Slovan Bratislava Champions League opener | OneFootball

Luis Enrique could tweak his forward line for Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League opener against Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday at 21:00.

According to L'Équipe, Nuno Mendes has returned to the squad after a three-match suspension. At the Campus on Tuesday, Marquinhos and Enrique offered a candid assessment, with the coach describing the results at the start of the season as catastrophic while expressing confidence in a swift return to usual standards.

The emphasis was on higher standards and the need to reinvent, with PSG chasing a third straight Champions League win. Facing Yaya Touré’s Slovan Bratislava, they do not, on paper, expect a stern defensive examination.

Even so, immediate scrutiny rests on the defence after eight goals conceded in five matches. Internal video work has focused on adjustments to the counter-press and defensive transitions.

Several changes to the starting XI are expected for this opener.
