PSG also have notable losses.

  • L. Chevalier (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
  • A. Hakimi (Thigh Injury) is sidelined.
  • Q. Ndjantou (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.

Hakimi’s absence is a major blow given his 6 assists and 1 goal from defense, a key part of PSG’s 21-goal campaign.

Doué (5 goals, 4 assists) to sustain their attacking output.
