How Paris Saint-Germain could line up against Bordeaux

How PSG could line up against Bordeaux

Paris Saint-Germain will have to cope without the suspended Marco Verratti for Sunday's Ligue 1 meeting with Bordeaux at the Parc des Princes.

The Italy international was slapped with a one-game ban earlier this month for comments made towards the officials after February's defeat to Nantes, but Kylian Mbappe is back from a domestic suspension of his own.

Angel Di Maria left the field with a hamstring issue against old club Real Madrid in midweek and is set to miss out alongside Sergio Ramos, Juan Bernat and Layvin Kurzawa, while Ander Herrera's eye infection is yet to fully clear up.

Gianluigi Donnarumma was at fault for the first of Karim Benzema's three goals in the Champions League exit to Los Blancos, and Mauricio Pochettino may consider recalling Keylor Navas for this contest.

Marquinhos did not cover himself in glory at the Bernabeu either, but the Brazilian should hold his place alongside Achraf Hakimi and Presnel Kimpembe, while Nuno Mendes should start at left-back with Bernat suffering from a tight calf.

Georginio Wijnaldum should cover for the suspended Verratti in midfield alongside Danilo Pereira, and a tactical alteration could also see Leandro Paredes make way for Idrissa Gueye.

Mbappe scored what may be the second of many goals at the Bernabeu should an expected free transfer to Real Madrid go through this summer, and the 23-year-old will likely join Lionel Messi and Neymar in the attack once again.

PSG possible starting lineup: Navas; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Mendes; Pereira, Gueye, Wijnaldum; Messi, Mbappe, Neymar
