For the last match of the year 2023, Luis Enrique will once again innovate. This is his method, his strategy and he has no reason to deviate from his rule against Metz, this Wednesday at 9 p.m., on the occasion of the 17th day of the championship. Facing the Lorraines, the Parisian coach will be deprived of Ousmane Dembélé, his main dynamiter in attack. The coach has a host of solutions to replace him, from Randal Kolo Muani like in Dortmund to Kang-In Lee like against Nantes or even Marco Asensio or even Carlos Soler. Bradley Barcola played on this side in Lyon but the technician prefers him on the left.
After two suspension matches due to his expulsion from Le Havre, Gianluigi Donnarumma will return to his role as goalkeeper. The staff is especially embarrassed to find a backup for him while the numbers 2, 3 and 4 at the position are not available. Keylor Navas still has lower back pain, Arnau Tenas was hit in the shoulder and Alexandre Letellier was the victim of an attack during the night from Monday to Tuesday.
The young Louis Mouquet, 19, will be on the bench just in case. In front of the Italian goalkeeper, a new revamped defense will be deployed. Replacing Lille, Achraf Hakimi must find his place with Nordi Mukiele as a counterpart on the left. At the hinge, confidence could once again be given to Danilo Pereira. It remains to be seen who will accompany him: captain Marquinhos or Milan Skriniar, also on the bench in Lille.
In the heart of the game, the rotation will also continue. Already replacing at Dortmund due to a drop in performance, Manuel Ugarte is under threat from several possible sentinels, such as Vitinha or Warren Zaire-Emery even if Titi is perfect as a right relay. On the left of midfield, Marco Asensio could have another chance after he only played nine minutes in Lille this Sunday. He finds himself in competition with Carlos Soler in this match against Metz.
Up front, the main question concerns the perimeter allocated to Kylian Mbappé, more comfortable starting from the left but installed in the center lately. If he frequents the axis again, Luis Enrique will choose to escort him on the right by Randal Kolo Muani to replace Ousmane Dembélé. On the left, Bradley Barcola could make a fifth start in a row (Le Havre, Nantes, Dortmund, Lille), playing time undoubtedly unexpected for him at the time of his signing in Paris at the end of August. If he were to breathe, Kang-In Lee or even Marco Asensio are ready to occupy the left wing.
The probable composition of PSG: 99. Donnarumma – 2. Hakimi, 5. Marquinhos (cap.), 15. Danilo, 26. Mukiele – 33. Zaire-Emery, 17. Vitinha – 11. Asensio 23. Kolo Muani, 7. Mbappé, 29. Barcola or 19. Lee. Coach: Luis Enrique. Substitutes: 70. Mouquet (l.), 60. Laurendon (l.), 37. Skriniar, 97. Kurzawa, 21. Hernandez, 4. Ugarte, 27. Ndour, 28. Soler, 19. Lee or 29. Barcola, 9. Ramos.
