Paris Saint-Germain will face Stade Rennais without defender Illia Zabarnyi, who has been sidelined with an illness. Initially included in Luis Enrique’s squad, the Ukrainian center-back has had to withdraw due to a viral infection, as confirmed by sources. Having shown symptoms since the day before the match, Zabarnyi was deemed unfit to play. The medical staff opted to err on the side of caution, prioritizing his health and future matches over this evening’s encounter.

PSG faces a wave of absences against Stade Rennais

Zabarnyi’s absence comes at a critical time for PSG, who are already grappling with a host of player withdrawals. The team will also miss several key players including Désiré Doué, Nuno Mendes, Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Chevalier, and Beraldo. For Zabarnyi, this match represented a unique opportunity to build a defensive partnership with Matvey Safonov for the first time this season. Despite the ongoing geopolitical tensions, both players have managed to maintain a strictly professional relationship since the arrival of the Russian goalkeeper.
