Paris Saint-Germain travel to Rennes for Matchday 22 of Ligue 1 with a weakened midfield squad. Here is the probable lineup for the Paris side.
Senny Mayulu, suffering from a left calf injury, is ruled out and will be rested for several days. Fabián Ruiz continues his treatment, while Quentin Ndjantou is recovering after surgery on his right hamstring. Three absences that significantly reduce rotation options in midfield.
A reshaped midfield but strong attacking options
Despite this, the trend points toward a near full-strength starting eleven to maintain the league leader’s momentum. Luis Enrique is expected to rely on a solid base, a tighter midfield unit, and a fast attacking line to make the difference. The depth up front partly compensates for the lack of options in central areas.
On the Rennes side, four players are also unavailable: Frankowski, Jacquet, Ait Boudlal and Kamara. However, Brice Samba returns to the squad. Probable PSG lineup (4-3-3): Safonov – Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Lee or Zaïre-Emery – Doué, Dembélé or Ramos, Kvaratskhelia.
