Paris Saint-Germain host Olympique Lyonnais at the Parc des Princes on Monday night (8:30 p.m. CET) in Ligue 1's eighth round. The match was moved by order of the prefecture because of demonstrations and an NFL game at the Stade de France, Footeo News reported.
The club's 21-man squad does not include Ousmane Dembélé, captain Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes or Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who was hurt in the 4-2 Champions League win over Barcelona. Three academy players are included.
Coach Luis Enrique called for courage before the game. "It's important for us to be attacking, to be brave," the Spaniard said, according to Paris Fans. He also warned about the opponent: "Last year they won the match in Paris. It's the same team, the same coach."
