How Paris Saint-Germain could line up against Nantes

How PSG could line up against Nantes

Sergio Ramos is Paris Saint-Germain's only injury concern heading into their Ligue 1 contest against Nantes on Saturday night.

The 35-year-old has been struggling with a niggling calf injury for the majority of this season, and the centre-back's latest setback forced him to miss Tuesday's Champions League tie against former club Real Madrid.

Ramos will be assessed ahead of kickoff to see if he can feature this weekend, but a back four of Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe and Nuno Mendes is set to remain intact, shielding either Gianluigi Donnarumma or Keylor Navas between the sticks.

Mauricio Pochettino was able to welcome Neymar back into the fold in midweek, with the Brazilian coming off the bench to assist Kylian Mbappe for a dramatic stoppage-time winner. Both forwards, along with Lionel Messi – who scored against Nantes in the reverse fixture – are set to start in a three-man attack.

Ander Herrera was a doubt ahead of the clash with Real Madrid due to a thigh problem, but the Spaniard made the bench, where he is expected to start again on Saturday, with Marco Verratti, Leandro Paredes and Idrissa Gueye the most likely trio to get the nod in centre-midfield.

Julian Draxler, Georginio Wijnaldum and Mauro Icardi, who have all struggled for regular game time this term and who were all unused substitutes in midweek, are set to begin on the bench once again.

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