PSG lineup vs. Bayern Munich: Predicted XI for Champions League semi-final first leg

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha is expected to be fit for Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg with Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes.

The one-time Wolverhampton Wanderers man has missed PSG's last two Ligue 1 games with a heel injury, and he was still being restricted to individual training before Saturday's 3-0 triumph over Angers.

PSG affirmed in their latest medical update that Vitinha was making steady progress, though, and he was in full training on Monday, suggesting that he will be fine to feature in the first leg.

In addition, Fabian Ruiz recently returned from a two-month layoff with a knee injury, and the Spaniard is on course to start the first leg after completing 45 minutes of the Angers win without trouble.

Ruiz, Joao Neves and Vitinha will form the central trio if the latter is given the green light, which would see Luis Enrique have a fully-fit squad for the first leg.

Desire Doue and Nuno Mendes were both taken off with injuries in the 2-0 quarter-final second-leg win over Liverpool, but the duo quickly shook off those concerns and are looking good for starting roles here.

An appearance for Mendes would see the 23-year-old become the youngest Portuguese player to play 50 Champions League games - usurping Cristiano Ronaldo in the process - while captain Marquinhos could equal Roberto Carlos's record for the most UCL appearances by a Brazilian player (120).

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:

Safonov; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
