RC Lens will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Trophée des Champions tonight, marking a significant challenge for the Coupe de France champions. The club has undergone substantial changes since narrowly competing for the Ligue 1 title, including the appointment of new manager Dino Toppmöller and the arrival of multiple fresh faces to the squad.
According to L’Équipe’s assessment, two players are anticipated to make their competitive debuts in the starting lineup. Maik Nawrocki, the Celtic defender recently acquired by Lens, is expected to fill the defensive gap left by Malang Sarr’s departure on the left side of the back three. Additionally, midfielder Michaël Cuisance should debut following his transfer from Hertha BSC during the summer window.
Among the other new additions, Saudi Arabian international Saud Abdulhamid is projected to feature in the match, having recently made his loan arrangement permanent after spending the previous season with the club. While these debutants take the field, additional new signings may also see action from the bench as Lens begin their campaign against the reigning Ligue 1 champions.
