Luis Enrique drops Lucas Digne from PSG squad before Monaco match

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique left defender Lucas Digne out of the matchday squad for the game against Monaco on Friday. This decision followed concerns regarding the player's recent form and effort levels during training. Digne, who joined the club this summer as an experienced backup option, previously faced scrutiny for his performance during France's World Cup campaign. PSG staff reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with his standards early in the season. With the team scheduled to play their first home game at the Parc des Princes, the exclusion raises questions about the club's defensive depth behind Mendes. If Digne fails to meet the required expectations, the club may be forced to revisit the transfer market to address the position sooner than initially planned.
