Paris Saint-Germain squad and tactical adjustments

Overview

Paris Saint-Germain is managing squad depth and internal pressure following the suspension of left-back Nuno Mendes. While key players like Ousmane Dembélé and João Neves have returned to training, the club has struggled to find a consistent replacement for the left-back position, experimenting with players such as Lucas Hernandez and Warren Zaïre-Emery.

This tactical uncertainty has impacted Lucas Digne, who joined the club this summer from Aston Villa. Despite being recruited to provide depth, Digne has faced criticism regarding his physical conditioning and tactical adaptation. While internal sources reportedly urged him to increase his performance, Digne has remained sidelined, notably being absent from the squad selected for the match against Monaco despite Mendes’s unavailability.
