Dro Fernandez makes his first start for Paris Saint-Germain against Metz, arriving from Barcelona this winter. With key absences including Dembélé, Ruiz, and Mayulu, coach Luis Enrique opts for a rotated lineup. Fernandez, aged 17, partners in midfield with Kang-in Lee and Warren Zaïre-Emery, marking his first start since joining PSG. The attack is led by Gonçalo Ramos, with Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola supporting. The defense features Zabarnyi and Beraldo in the center, with Lucas Hernandez replacing Nuno Mendes at left back. In goal, Matvey Safonov remains the starter. PSG's lineup is designed to prepare for the upcoming Champions League match against Monaco. Metz, bottom of Ligue 1, aims to challenge PSG with a defensive three-man backline and quick counterattacks, led by captain Habib Diallo. The official lineups see PSG in a 4-3-3 formation with Safonov in goal, Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Beraldo, Hernandez in defense, and a midfield trio of Zaïre-Emery, Dro Fernandez, and Lee. Metz lines up in a 5-4-1 formation with Fischer in goal, a three-man defense, and a defensive midfield supporting the attack led by Diallo.
