Lorient v PSG: Confirmed line-ups as Ballon d’Or winner Dembele returns
PSG visit Lorient tonight. Get all the team news here...
PSG will hope to extend their winning streak to three games when they visit Lorient in Ligue 1 tonight.
Saturday’s 3-0 victory at Brest was PSG’s second in five days, coming on the back of a superb 7-2 triumph at Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
Luis Enrique’s side have not always been at their sparkling best this season as they attempt to cope with a lengthy injury list, no doubt caused by their hectic schedule over the past 12 months.
But most of their walking wounded are either back or not far away and Luis Enrique admitted yesterday their determination to repeat last year’s successes.
Lorient sit in 16th place in Ligue 1 following Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Angers.
