Foot Mercato reported that Paris Saint-Germain's goalkeeper, Lucas Chevalier, was injured during the team's match against Monaco and is expected to miss tomorrow's game against Rennes, giving Matvei Safonov the opportunity to participate and stirring controversy within the team's technical staff.

The site indicated that a strong challenge from Monaco player Lamine Camara caused Chevalier's ankle injury. Although he finished the match, he will miss tomorrow's game, which represents an opportunity for the backup goalkeeper who has not yet played a single minute this season.

The site explained that Safonov had previously played in 6 matches last season and there was consideration to give him a chance to compete with Donnarumma, who was not in his best form at the time. The team started him in the Champions League match against Bayern Munich, but the experiment failed after he made a mistake that led to the only goal of the match. After that, discussions stopped due to Donnarumma's impressive performance.

The same source conveyed that Chevalier's inconsistent performance this season sparked a debate about the wisdom of keeping him as the absolute first choice. The idea of rotating between the two goalkeepers was proposed but quickly dismissed by coach Luis Enrique, who affirmed his confidence in Chevalier and gave him time to adapt to the new team requirements, emphasizing that he remains the first choice despite early difficulties in the season.

The report pointed to the possibility of a promising third goalkeeper, Renato Marin, emerging in the future, while confirming that Safonov's current situation has not changed but may see adjustments in the coming months depending on the team's developments.
