Luis Enrique, known for his tactical boldness, rarely takes a cautious approach, even off the pitch. Indeed, the Spanish coach has expressed such confidence in Paris Saint-Germain’s impending Ligue 1 title, stating after Sunday’s victory against Brest that they are “99.9% certain to be champions,” he might even consider fielding the club’s academy players. Joking aside, the Champions League finalists are set to travel to Lens for their rescheduled 29th-round Ligue 1 fixture with a significant handicap: seven key players will be unavailable.
Squad challenges for PSG against Lens
According to an official club statement, Paris Saint-Germain has confirmed the absence of several prominent figures. The list of unavailable players includes Lee Kang-in, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Chevalier, and Quentin Ndjantou. This extensive list of PSG player absences presents a considerable challenge for the squad as they aim to secure the championship. While the team’s dominant position makes the title almost a certainty, this wave of injuries might offer a glimmer of hope to Lens, who would need an improbable, monumental victory to reignite the title race.
