Tomorrow night, PSG will face Lille in the third round of Ligue 1. Luis Enrique might include Milan Skriniar in the squad for this match.

Before the first international break of the 2024-2025 season, PSG will travel to Lille to wrap up the third round of Ligue 1. This clash between the first and second in the league standings will see Luis Enrique managing without Presnel Kimpembe, Lucas Hernandez, and Goncalo Ramos. Additionally, Matvey Safonov and Nuno Mendes might also miss out due to a viral syndrome that kept them out of the pre-match training.

Luis Enrique's dilemma, Will Skriniar make the cut?

In their medical update, PSG explained that both players were rested on Saturday, without confirming if they would be unavailable for the match against Lille. With uncertainty surrounding the availability of the Portuguese left-back, Milan Skriniar—who is not in Luis Enrique’s plans and was encouraged to find a new club during this summer transfer window—could be included in the Spanish coach’s squad, according to L’Equipe.

Could this be his final appearance before a transfer? Several transfer windows remain open, including in Portugal, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, although his salary might pose a challenge for a potential move.

This game could be a pivotal moment for Skriniar, who has yet to make an impact under Luis Enrique. A strong performance might change the coach's mind, or it could serve as a final showcase for potential suitors. As the transfer deadline looms, all eyes will be on whether Skriniar can secure a spot in the lineup—or perhaps a move to a new club.
