Rennes/PSG – Possible PSG line-up and suspension risks

Article image:Rennes/PSG – Possible PSG line-up and suspension risks

This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain travel to face Rennes at Roazhon Park as part of the Matchday 1 of Ligue 1 2026-2027 (kick-off at 8:45pm, live on Ligue1+). Paris coach Luis Enrique must choose his 11 starters while taking into account the opponent, the upcoming matches, and the risk of suspension, after naming the Paris squad for this game.

It is still just as difficult to predict Luis Enrique’s choices, as he gives no hints to the media and is not afraid to make bold decisions. In particular, he relies on competition during the week and analysis of the opponent. There is also the management of minutes, as well as confidence, between the need to play and the need to rest. These are factors known only to him and his staff. Of course, the tremendous versatility within the squad makes the equation even more complicated.

Ruiz – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery

Digne – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi

Safonov.
