Ousmane Dembélé and Ferran Torres are both expected to start as Paris Saint-Germain get their UEFA Champions League defence underway against Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday night.
Luis Enrique is not contending with any injury-related absences tonight. However, he has described PSG’s start to the season as “catastrophic” and, as a result, he may make changes to his line-up tonight. Nuno Mendes is a notable change. The Portuguese full-back has been suspended since the start of the season but is expected to come straight back into the line-up, L’Équipe understands. On the opposite side, Achraf Hakimi may be rested.
There could also be a surprise start for Ferran Torres on the right of the attack. It would mean no place in the XI for Désiré Doué or Maghnes Akliouche.
