Paris Saint-Germain has the opportunity to temporarily regain the top spot in Ligue 1 with a victory against Metz this Saturday night. For this important match, coach Luis Enrique has named a squad of 20 players, which includes Lucas Chevalier and Lucas Beraldo returning to the lineup, as well as Désiré Doué, who made an appearance in Bilbao earlier this week. However, the Spanish coach will have to do without Senny Mayulu, who has been ruled out at the last minute.
According to reports from Le Parisien, the young Parisian player is suffering from a virus that prevents him from joining his teammates at the hotel where the PSG players are staying. Mayulu, who started in the Champions League match at San Mamés on Wednesday, has participated in 17 matches this season, accumulating 1,099 minutes on the pitch, during which he scored three goals and provided two assists. Following Ousmane Dembélé’s absence from the Champions League due to a flu, this marks a second key player in PSG’s attacking line-up sidelined by illness.
As PSG gears up for this match, the team remains optimistic about securing a win, despite these setbacks. This match provides a crucial opportunity for the players to showcase their depth and resilience, especially with the absence of some key members. A victory would not only bolster their title aspirations but also reinforce the team’s determination and bonding as they strive for success in the league.
