PSG faces Lens with a host of absentees ahead of title decider

PSG missing key players for title-clinching clash against Lens

Luis Enrique’s approach to risk management rarely extends onto the pitch. The Spanish coach seems to adopt a zero-risk policy only in boardrooms. After securing a 2-0 victory over Brest last Sunday, he could even afford to field the club’s youngest talents, with Paris Saint-Germain mathematically 99.9% certain to claim the Ligue 1 title. Jokes aside, the Parisians will face RC Lens with a squad depleted by seven first-team players in the delayed 29th matchday fixture.

Lucho’s lineup puzzle

In an official statement, PSG confirmed the absence of Lee Kang-in, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Chevalier, and Quentin Ndjantou due to injury. This lengthy list of absentees could inject fresh hope into Lens’ title ambitions. A 15-0 triumph would suddenly make everything possible.

All eyes will be on Pierre Bachelet for the opening goal.
