Lucas Chevalier Returns to Paris Saint-Germain Goal

Lucas Chevalier is expected to return as Paris Saint-Germain's starting goalkeeper for the anticipated match against Paris FC on Sunday evening. This will mark Chevalier's first start since sustaining an ankle injury on November 29, during a game that saw his team lose 0-1 to Monaco.

Chevalier's return follows a period of absence from the pitch, during which Matvey Safonov successfully took over goalkeeping duties for three matches. However, Safonov is currently sidelined for three weeks due to a broken left hand, paving the way for Chevalier's comeback, who has the full backing of coach Luis Enrique.

Coach Luis Enrique expressed his immense confidence in his team's goalkeepers, stating: “When you try to deal with players individually, there are special moments with them. But with Lucas, I haven't had any special talks, nor have I done anything unique because I believe things are clear: we have three very high-level goalkeepers, and I am very happy, as is the team. What we strive for is to have players who are at a very high level and have given 100% to the team. They have shown their character and strength when things were not positive. This is a fundamental requirement for a player at Paris Saint-Germain.”

Chevalier is considered Paris Saint-Germain's primary goalkeeper, and the coach's statements underscore his foundational role and the technical staff's confidence in his abilities, despite recent pressure and competition from his teammates.
