Lens (AFP)
Thomas Tuchel has fielded two strikers without any experience in Ligue 1, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Kays Ruiz, for Paris SG's debut in Ligue 1 in Lens this Thursday.
The two 18-year-old "titis", preferred to the more experienced Julian Draxler and Jesé, are accompanied by Pablo Sarabia, in the absence of stars Mbappé, Neymar, Icardi and Di Maria because of Covid-19.
Goalkeeper Marcin Bulka, 20 years old and only one game on the clock, is established in the cages in the absence of Keylor Navas and Sergio Rico.
In the middle, Marco Verratti, weakened this summer, holds alongside Idrissa Gueye and Ander Herrera.
Lensois side, the home scorer Florian Sotoca does not start the meeting, nor Yannick Cahuzac.
It is the keeper Jean-Louis Leca who inherits the captaincy.
The teams:
Lens: Leca (cap) - Gradit, Bade, Medina - Michelin, Doucouré, Perez, Sylla - Kakuta - Banza, Ganago
Paris SG: Bulka - Kehrer, Kimpembe, Kurzawa, Bernat - Herrera, Gueye, Verratti - Sarabia, Kalimuendo, Ruiz
