Luis Enrique, the Paris Saint-Germain manager, is taking no risks as his team prepares for the highly anticipated Ligue 1 clash against Lens. With the club on the brink of securing the league title—”champions at 99.9%” as Enrique put it after Sunday’s win over Brest—every precaution is being taken to avoid unnecessary setbacks.

However, the upcoming match in Lens presents a significant challenge, as seven players are sidelined due to injury, including key figures like Lee Kang-in, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Chevalier, and Quentin Ndjantou.
