Paris Saint-Germain team news: Injury, suspension list vs. RB Leipzig

PSG injury, suspension list vs. RB Leipzig

Paris Saint-Germain will hope to make it back-to-back wins in the Champions League when they welcome RB Leipzig to the Parc des Princes for Tuesday's Group A clash.

Mauricio Pochettino's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Club Brugge before storming to a 2-0 win over Manchester City on matchday two, with Idrissa Gueye and Lionel Messi crashing home thunderous efforts.

The Ligue 1 powerhouses enter this game on the back of a 2-1 success over fellow high-flyers Angers on Friday night, with Danilo Pereira and Kylian Mbappe completing the turnaround after Angelo Fulgini's first-half opener.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of PSG's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.


Sergio Ramos

Status: Out Type of injury: Calf Possible return date: October 24 (vs. Marseille)

Sergio Ramos is still waiting for his debut for PSG due to a calf issue and was not in the squad to face Angers. The ex-Real Madrid man is making great strides in his recovery, but he will not be involved on Tuesday.


Keylor Navas

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Adductor Possible return date: October 19 (vs. RB Leipzig)

Keylor Navas only lasted 45 minutes of Costa Rica's World Cup Qualifying clash with the USA on October 14 before going off with an adductor complaint. The goalkeeper did not take part against Angers but is participating in training, meaning that a comeback on Tuesday is not beyond the realm of possibility.


Neymar

Status: Out Type of injury: Groin Possible return date: Unknown

PSG confirmed in their latest medical update that Neymar returned from international duty with a minor groin problem and will not be available against Leipzig.


Leandro Paredes

Status: Out Type of injury: Thigh Possible return date: Unknown

Leandro Paredes suffered a thigh injury during Argentina's World Cup qualifiers earlier this month and has been ruled out until after the next international break.


Mauro Icardi

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Personal Possible return date: October 19 (vs. Leipzig)

Mauro Icardi missed training on Sunday due to personal problems amid a social media storm involving his wife Wanda Nara - who has hinted at a separation - and Pochettino is unsure if the Argentine will be available here.


PSG's SUSPENSION LIST

Angel Di Maria

Return date: November 3 (vs. RB Leipzig)

Angel Di Maria will serve the final game of his lengthy Champions League suspension this week and will be available for the reverse fixture against Leipzig at the start of November.
