PSG Prepares for Ligue 1 Clash Against FC Metz After Champions League Victory

Just a few days after clinching a 2-3 victory against AS Monaco in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain is set to return to Ligue 1 on Saturday, February 21, at 21:05, facing FC Metz. Here is the squad selected by Luis Enrique for the match.

Having won the first leg of the Champions League knockout stage against AS Monaco, PSG has positioned itself favorably for advancement to the Round of 16 ahead of the return match scheduled for Wednesday, February 25. However, before they can refocus on the Champions League, Paris must first tackle a Ligue 1 encounter against FC Metz, who are currently at the bottom of the league and facing relegation to Ligue 2. This match presents an opportunity for substitutes to gain valuable playing time, although Ousmane Dembélé will not be participating.

The Ballon d’Or winner had to leave the field before the 30-minute mark during the match against AS Monaco. To preserve his fitness, Luis Enrique has opted to rest him for the upcoming fixture against Metz. Nonetheless, the Spanish coach can rely on a competitive squad, including the promising Désiré Doué, who was instrumental in PSG’s victory against ASM.
