PSG could start Ousmane Dembélé and Fabian Ruiz against Lens in Trophée des champions | OneFootball

Ousmane Dembélé and Fabian Ruiz, who started on the bench against Aston Villa on Wednesday, could begin for PSG against Lens in the Trophée des champions on Sunday, kick-off 20:45, live on Ligue 1+, available on L'Équipe.

According to L'Équipe, Luis Enrique is likely to pick a line-up quite different from midweek, with PSG chasing a second trophy of the summer only four days after the 2-1 Super Cup win over Aston Villa.

Nuno Mendes suffered cramps against Villa, and Lucas Digne could come in at left-back. The most probable switch is Dembélé back at centre forward, which would move Maghnes Akliouche to the right.

Joao Neves has not trained normally and could give way to Senny Mayulu rather than Warren Zaïre-Emery if the latter fills in at right-back for Achraf Hakimi. Fabian Ruiz, who replaced Neves on Wednesday, should start this time.

Ferran Torres, a world champion officially confirmed as a PSG player on Saturday, is not expected to travel to Lens. Compared with Wednesday, Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Neves and Désiré Doué would drop out, with Digne, Mayulu, Fabian Ruiz and Dembélé coming in.
