PSG predicted XI v Lorient: Willian Pacho and Warren Zaïre-Emery start in heavily rotated side
With a six-point lead over RC Lens in Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain’s focus can be placed entirely on the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final with Bayern Munich on Wednesday. Rotating players will be the key theme for the Les Parisiens this afternoon.
Luis Enrique will likely rest his usual starters with a couple of key exceptions. Willian Pacho and Warren Zaïre-Emery are expected to start as the right-sided centre-back and the right-back, respectively, with Illia Zabarnyi suspended and Achraf Hakimi injured.
PSG might give third-choice goalkeeper Renato Marin his league debut, with Matvey Safonov likely to be rested, while Lucas Chevalier has picked up an injury that could rule him out for the rest of the season and end his World Cup hopes.
