PSG XI vs Nantes – Predicted lineup and team news

PSG Team News

Paris Saint-Germain face selection headaches, with midfielder João Neves suspended after his red card in the Club World Cup final, and young midfielder Senny Mayulu sidelined by a thigh injury.

Gianluigi Donnarumma has been omitted following his announced departure, clearing the way for new signing Lucas Chevalier to make his competitive debut between the sticks and recent high-profile defensive signing Illia Zabarnyi from Bournemouth (€63M) strengthens the backline.

Luis Enrique’s squad remains formidable. Ousmane Dembélé, Desire Doue, Goncalo Ramos, Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are all vying for spots in a fluid front three. PSG will deploy their favoured 4-3-3, blending experience and youth to unlock Nantes’ defence.

Overall, PSG’s lineup is built to sustain dominance domestically and compete strongly in European competition. Recent squad changes have added depth in key areas, especially in goal and central defence.

The exclusion of Donnarumma and suspension of Neves create some adjustments, but the squad depth compensates well with quality alternatives ready to step in. This lineup reflects PSG’s ambition to continue collecting trophies in 2025/26.

PSG Predicted Lineup

PSG predicted XI: Chevalier; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.
