The essential
- After its early elimination in the Coupe de France a little less than two weeks ago, PSG recovered well last weekend by inflicting a severe 5-1 at Losc, on its lawn. A meeting marked in particular by goals from Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.
- For its part, Stade Rennais remains on a defeat (1-2 at Clermont) and a victory (2-0 once morest Brest) in Ligue 1. Bruno Génésio’s men are currently in 5th place in the standings and might pick up once more in Strasbourg , 4th, in the event of a draw.
- All three injured for some time, Angel Di Maria, Leandro Paredes and Georginio Wijnaldum return to the Parisian group which will need to reboost its midfield, in the absence of Danilo Pereira (suspended) and Ander Herrera (injured) .
