Paris Saint-Germain kick off their Ligue 1 title defence off with a trip to Le Havre AC on Friday night. Willian Pacho is set to make his debut in the heart of the defence, however, João Neves will have to wait to make his competitive debut for Les Parisiens.
There had been doubts surrounding the No.1 jersey with Matvey Safonov brought in to challenge Gianluigi Donnarumma. It is the latter that is expected to remain between the posts. With Nuno Mendes suspended and Lucas Hernandez injured, Lucas Beraldo with start at left-back, leaving room for Pacho to make his debut alongside Milan Skriniar.
However, Neves won’t make his PSG debut just yet. He is expected to earn a place on the bench. With Kylian Mbappé now gone, Bradley Barcola is now the go-to option on the left, and Gonçalo Ramos will lead the line.
