Paris Saint-Germain's Ligue 1 result against Monaco produced squad news sharper than the scoreline. Luis Enrique confirmed Lucas Digne was left out and told reporters that supporters should prepare to see three players omitted every week.
Fabrizio Romano circulated the manager's words within hours of the match: "You need to start get ready to see three players out every week…" The comment was attached directly to Digne's absence from the group that faced Monaco.
PSG went into the fixture without a Ligue 1 win from their opening games. Enrique declined to discuss title odds and instead framed selection as a standing policy, not a one-off snub. That is official squad language, not a forecast of who starts next.
Ligue 1 continues on Saturday with Lens vs Lorient, Le Havre vs Brest and Nice vs Le Mans. For where to watch, check Ligue 1+ and the local rights holders in your country.
Enrique also said that if the Monaco game were replayed in the same manner ten times, PSG would expect to win most of them. Monaco coach Filipe Luis answered with public praise for Enrique. Those quotes are on the record. They do not change the registration fact: Digne was not in the squad.
The practical note is rotation. Enrique has put a number on weekly omissions. Anyone following PSG or the wider Ligue 1 slate should treat squad lists as fluid from match to match rather than assuming a settled XI.
The next confirmed Ligue 1 dates after Saturday include Sunday fixtures such as Marseille vs Paris FC. Until official team sheets drop, Enrique's three-out rule is the hard news to carry into the weekend.
