PSG Seeks Ligue 1 Revival Against Brest With Key Players Returning

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is preparing to face Stade Brestois at Stade Francis-Le Blé in a critical Ligue 1 match following their resounding 7-2 Champions League victory over Bayer Leverkusen. Manager Luis Enrique has a healthier squad with the return of key players like Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé, who scored on his comeback, and captain Marquinhos after injury, although Fabian Ruiz and João Neves remain doubtful. PSG aims to break their two-game domestic winless streak and maintain pressure on league leaders Olympique de Marseille, currently just one point ahead. Brest, sitting 12th, have been solid at home with an unbeaten run of four matches, presenting a competitive challenge bolstered by players like Ludovic Ajorque and Junior Dina Ebimbe. Defensive concerns linger for both teams with Brest's Kenny Lala doubtful due to injury and PSG's Illia Zabarnyi recovering from a poor recent performance, potentially paired with Marquinhos to restore defensive stability. Overall, PSG seeks to leverage their renewed squad strength and recent European momentum to secure a crucial league victory.
