PSG’s Star Goalkeeper Donnarumma Not Included in Squad for Toulouse Clash

Paris Saint-Germain’s first-choice goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, has been unexpectedly omitted from the team’s lineup for their upcoming match against Toulouse FC. This decision comes as PSG aims to maintain their substantial 10-point lead over their main competitors, Olympique de Marseille, in the league standings.

Reports suggest that the 25-year-old Italian’s absence is a tactical decision made by head coach Luis Enrique. Sources close to the team indicate that Donnarumma is being rested in preparation for the crucial Champions League match against Stade Brestois scheduled for next week.

With Donnarumma sidelined, it’s likely that Matvei Safonov, a recent addition to the squad, will take his place as goalkeeper for the Toulouse game. The 25-year-old Russian international has been preferred over Arnau Tenas, the team’s third-choice goalkeeper, who has yet to make an appearance in league matches this season.

To fill the gap left by Donnarumma’s absence, young goalkeeper Louis Mouquet, aged 20, has been called up to serve as the third-choice keeper for the upcoming match.

This unexpected lineup change adds an intriguing element to PSG’s strategy as they face Toulouse FC, potentially impacting the team’s performance in this important league fixture.
