We are only at the 2nd day of Ligue 1 and, already, Paris Saint-Germain should experience a small revolution on the ground. Since Sunday and the day after the first match, at the Parc des Princes against Lorient (0-0), the Parisian group has been enriched by two heavyweight players: Ousmane Dembélé, the latest Parisian recruit, and Kylian Mbappé, reinstated in the group after several weeks in the “loft”.
The two should, in all likelihood, start the meeting in Toulouse, this Saturday at 9 p.m. Luis Enrique confirmed it in half-words at a press conference on Friday in the case of the new No. 10 Rouge & Bleu, assuring that he was “ready to play from the first minute”. Regarding Mbappé, “he is perfect! enthused the Spaniard. “In what I saw in training this week, he showed a lot of desire. He arrives with a good frame of mind, he is truly a world-class player. I can only rejoice in his return and count him among us. For the good of our team. »
For the rest, the composition should be substantially the same. The Korean Lee Kang-in could keep his place in the eleven but a notch lower, instead of Vitinha, as was being studied by the staff and the Parisian decision-makers. In defense, the presence or absence of Marquinhos, replacing against Lorient due to physical glitches during the week, will be scrutinized. In case of absence, he will undoubtedly be relieved by the Portuguese Danilo.
The kick-off will be given at 9 p.m. (live on Canal+ Sport 360). The referee, Thomas Léonard, 41, from Moselle, has officiated in Ligue 1 since 2017. He led PSG’s last match of last season, at the Parc: a 3-2 defeat against Clermont. Kylian Mbappé had scored a penalty.
