PSG vs Auxerre – Match Preview and Team News

PSG Team News

Luis Enrique’s squad continues to be hampered by a mounting injury crisis. Ousmane Dembélé remains sidelined for approximately with a hamstring injury sustained while on international duty with France. The newly crowned Ballon d’Or winner will miss this fixture and the crucial Champions League clash against Barcelona on October 1st.

Bradley Barcola and João Neves are both recovering from minor muscle issues. Désiré Doué continues his recovery from a calf injury, though there’s a slim chance he could return for the Barcelona match.

Despite the injury concerns, Luis Enrique expressed confidence in his squad’s depth, stating: “We are not worried because it’s manageable, we always manage to have a competitive team”.

Auxerre Team News

Christophe Pelissier’s side will be without defender Fredrik Oppegård, who is serving a suspension after receiving a red card in their recent 1-0 victory over Toulouse.

Sinaly Diomandé remains sidelined with a thigh strain, while Nathan Buayi-Kiala is out with a cruciate ligament injury. Oussama El Azzouzi continues to miss out with a hamstring problem.

On a positive note, Josue Casimir is eligible to return from his suspension and could feature in the squad. Donovan León impressed with three saves and a clean sheet in their last outing and will start in goal.

Form

PSG

Prior to their recent setback at the Stade Vélodrome, PSG had started the campaign with four consecutive victories, including an impressive 4-0 Champions League win over Atalanta. The Parisians have scored 10 goals in five Ligue 1 matches while conceding just four. At home, they boast a perfect record with two wins from two games, keeping clean sheets in both fixtures.

Auxerre

Auxerre’s season has been characterised by inconsistency. After winning their opening match, they have suffered three consecutive defeats, including losses to Monaco (2-1) and Nantes (1-0), although they won their last league match against Toulouse. Their away form has been particularly concerning, with no victories in two road trips this season. They managed just four goals in five matches, highlighting their struggles in the final third.

PSG: Chevalier; Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Beraldo, Hernandez; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz, Mendes; Ramos, Kvaratskhelia
