9 May
Summary
- PSG faces six absentees, including three key players, before facing Brest.
- Brest's striker Ludovic Ajorque is uncertain to play due to back pain.
- Both teams are dealing with suspensions and injuries impacting their lineups.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is set to face Brest in Ligue 1's Matchday 33 with a depleted squad. As of May 7, 2026, PSG has six players unavailable, including three Parisians: Achraf Hakimi, Quentin Ndjantou, and Lucas Chevalier, who are all dealing with injuries and did not participate in recent team training.
Manager Luis Enrique might consider squad rotation for the Brest match following their Champions League exertions. This strategy could see players like Vitinha and Nuno Mendes rested. Brest, coached by Eric Roy, is also affected by absences. Kenny Lala is suspended, and Bradley Locko remains out with a hamstring injury. Soumaila Coulibaly is also unavailable due to a stress fracture.
Compounding Brest's issues, striker Ludovic Ajorque is a doubt for the PSG encounter due to back pain. The coach confirmed Ajorque's participation is uncertain, though he expects Kamory Doumbia to be available despite not being at full fitness. Brest is currently 12th in the league and has not won in six matches.
