Paris FC vs Monaco: Trapp Starts, Marchetti Injured! Shock Line-Up!

Big changes for Paris FC's clash against Monaco! Kevin Trapp will be in goals, replacing Obed Nkambadio. This tactical switch by manager Stéphane Gilli is a surprise, as Nkambadio has played the majority of league games this season. Trapp previously stepped in for a single match due to a minor injury to Nkambadio, during their first league win against Metz.

Unfortunately, Vincent Marchetti is out due to a knee injury sustained in the match against Nantes. He was initially considered to start, giving captain Maxime Lopez a rest. Alimami Gory (hamstring), Hamari Traoré (thigh), Thibault de Smet (suspended), and Nhoa Sangui (thigh) are also unavailable for selection.
