PSG may make major changes for Le Mans match as Safonov tipped to start

Paris Saint-Germain could name an experimental side for their sixth-round Ligue 1 fixture against Le Mans, with significant changes expected in defence.

Foot Mercato believes Matvey Safonov is likely to be included in the starting line-up, while the back four could be reshaped as Paris Saint-Germain seek to strengthen their defensive unit.

The potential changes are linked to the condition of players returning from international duty. Head coach Luis Enrique may therefore make extensive use of rotation for the match, according to the report.
