PSG Goalkeeping Call Left Open as Chevalier Ruled Out for Rennes

Luis Enrique keeps the choice under wraps to manage competition in a position already under internal scrutiny.

Overview

  • Lucas Chevalier is out with an ankle injury sustained at Monaco after a tackle by Lamine Camara, ruling him unavailable for the Rennes match.
  • On paper Matvey Safonov is next in line, though he has not played a minute this season and last started for PSG in the May Coupe de France final.
  • Luis Enrique declined to confirm his starter and said either Safonov or 19-year-old Renato Marin would be a good option in goal.
  • Club reporting has questioned Chevalier’s recent form, even as Enrique previously maintained the Frenchman was ahead of Safonov.
  • PSG hosts fifth-place Rennes on Saturday as Paris sits second in Ligue 1 after the 1-0 loss at Monaco.
