Sports Mole looks at how Paris Saint-Germain could line up in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Benfica.

Paris Saint-Germain will again be missing Lionel Messi for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Benfica.

The Argentina international picked up a calf problem in the latter stages of the 1-1 draw between the two sides in Portugal last week, which ruled him out of Saturday's Ligue 1 game with Reims.

The issue is not serious, but he will not be risked for this game, so Pablo Sarabia could feature alongside Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in the final third of the field.

Sergio Ramos was sent off against Reims but will be available here and should start, with Danilo Pereira playing in the back three due to Presnel Kimpembe's ongoing absence.

Nuno Mendes is also out with a hamstring problem, so Juan Bernat should line up as the left-sided wing-back, with Achraf Hakimi playing on the opposite side.

Head coach Christophe Galtier could ultimately make three changes from the side that started against Reims, with Vitinha also bidding to return in the middle of midfield.

Carlos Soler and Fabian Ruiz are likely to be two of the players to drop out, with Nordi Mukiele also likely to be moved to the bench for the key European contest in Paris.

Portuguese midfielder Renato Sanches will also be absent for PSG due to an ongoing groin problem.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Ramos, Marquinhos, Danilo; Hakimi, Vitinha, Verratti, Bernat; Sarabia, Mbappe, Neymar
