PSG's new signings set to shine in Ligue 1 opener

Luis Enrique is expected to have an almost full squad at his disposal, with only Presnel Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez, who have been long-term absentees, missing out. For this match against Le Havre, the Spanish coach could start two of his new signings.

According to Le Parisien, Gianluigi Donnarumma is expected to be in goal. The PSG goalkeeper is likely to be supported by a back four composed of Achraf Hakimi, who recently returned from the Olympics with a bronze medal, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho—who could make his first official start—and Carlos Soler in an unusual left-back position.

The second summer signing, Joao Neves, is also expected to make his first start. The 19-year-old Portuguese international is likely to be paired with his compatriots Vitinha and Warren Zaire-Emery. “This trio has been communicating a lot in recent days,” notes the French daily.

In attack, Lee Kang-in and Bradley Barcola are expected to occupy the wings. For the striker position, Le Parisien is undecided between Marco Asensio and Goncalo Ramos.
