Younes Idder PSG squad call-up for Troyes match, Digi Mart USA News: Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique has included Moroccan youngster Younes Idder in his 20-man squad for Saturday’s Ligue 1 encounter against Troyes, handing the 18-year-old his first call-up for a competitive first-team match. Idder, who has represented Morocco at youth level, is among several academy players selected for the Matchday 10 fixture at the Parc des Princes, scheduled to kick off at 9:05 p.m.
local time.
The midfielder’s selection comes after he trained with PSG’s senior squad on Friday, earning an opportunity to join the first team for an official fixture. His inclusion follows Luis Enrique’s decision to rotate his squad before the international break, with several regular starters unavailable.
Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi has been granted a period of rest and will miss the encounter, while Ousmane Dembele, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Maghnes Akliouche are sidelined through injury.
Born on January 18, 2008, Idder joined PSG’s youth setup in 2020 and has progressed through the club’s development ranks. The French-Moroccan midfielder contributed to the club’s successful 2025-2026 youth campaign, helping the U19 team win both the national championship and the Coupe Gambardella.
In July, PSG announced that Idder had signed a two-year trainee contract, securing his place in the club’s development structure until 2028. He has also represented Morocco’s youth national teams, including the U18 side, maintaining his connection to Moroccan football while developing in France.
The teenager previously joined PSG’s senior squad for preseason friendlies, but Saturday’s selection marks his first inclusion for an official competitive fixture.
Idder’s opportunity comes as Luis Enrique manages several absences following PSG’s recent Champions League commitments. The Spanish coach has also included young defender David Boly, who scored against Villarreal in the Champions League earlier this week, alongside Quentin Ndjantou.
Hakimi, meanwhile, will benefit from additional recovery time before the upcoming international fixtures.
For Idder, the selection represents another step in his development, although his presence in the squad does not guarantee playing time. PSG will face Troyes, looking to maintain their position at the top of Ligue 1 before the international break.
