Dembélé and Fabián Ruiz in line to start PSG's Trophée des champions bid
Luis Enrique is set to rotate PSG's starting XI for Sunday's Trophée des champions against Lens, with Dembélé and Fabián Ruiz expected to feature.
PSG will chase their second trophy of the summer this Sunday against Lens in the Trophée des champions (20:45, Ligue 1+). Fresh off a midweek Supercopa de Europa victory over Aston Villa (2-1), Luis Enrique is planning a significantly altered lineup, as reported by L'Équipe.
Changes to the Paris starting XI
Ousmane Dembélé and Fabián Ruiz, both substitutes against Villa, could start at Bollaert. The French winger is set to return as a centre-forward, shifting Maghnes Akliouche to the right wing. Fabián Ruiz would replace Joao Neves, who has not trained normally and remains a doubt ahead of Sunday.
In defence, Lucas Digne is poised to occupy the left flank over Nuno Mendes, who suffered cramps against the English side. Achraf Hakimi may also give way to Warren Zaïre-Emery at right-back, allowing further midfield adjustments.
Elsewhere, Ferran Torres will not travel to northern France for the fixture as Enrique continues his rotation strategy.
