"However, Luis Enrique believes they cannot underestimate their opponents, especially after falling behind in the title race. "We're going to approach the match against Metz like any other," said the PSG boss. "It's a very important match because we need to put pressure on Lens and take all three points. "I can't remember any match against the bottom team that has gone without a hitch. We need those three points.""
"PSG were dealt a blow in their Champions League play-off first leg win against Monaco during the week when Ousmane Dembele was substituted due to an injury. Luis Enrique explained the effects injuries have had on his side this season compared to previous years. "For Ousmane, it was a blow. We don't want to take any risks with the players, but injuries are part of top-level football," added the Spaniard."
Luis Enrique has demanded a win against Metz to restore pressure in the Ligue 1 title race after PSG's recent slip. PSG lost 3-1 to Rennes and now trail Lens by one point. Metz sit bottom of the table, and PSG's strong home record versus promoted sides suggests they should be favorites. Injuries have reduced rotation options this season, with Ousmane Dembele substituted injured in the recent Champions League play-off. The increased number of injuries has affected playing time and squad management, requiring a different approach for the remainder of the campaign.
