Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Paris Saint-Germain could line up for Sunday's Ligue 1 clash with Lorient.

Paris Saint-Germain attacker Neymar is back from a Champions League ban for Sunday's trip to Lorient in Ligue 1.

The 30-year-old missed his side's 2-1 win over Juventus in midweek after picking up three yellow cards, but he makes a timely return to the side to link up with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.

Christophe Galtier will be even more grateful for Neymar's return after Fabian Ruiz came off injured in the first half against Juventus, and that muscular issue is expected to keep him out of PSG's final few games before the World Cup.

Renato Sanches came on to replace Ruiz in Turin, but Vitinha, Marco Verratti and Carlos Soler could form the trident in another 4-3-1-2 for PSG, who have no midweek game to take into account for the time being.

PSG's shift to a four-man defence has coincided with Presnel Kimpembe's injury woes, as the Frenchman had only just returned from a hamstring issue before taking a knock to the Achilles.

Kimpembe's issue is not thought to be too severe, but Sergio Ramos and Marquinhos will expect to hold their spots in defence alongside Achraf Hakimi, while Nuno Mendes is in line to replace Juan Bernat after scoring the winning goal at the Allianz Stadium.

Keylor Navas also missed the win over Juventus with back pain, but Gianluigi Donnarumma is now PSG's undisputed number one.

PSG possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Ramos, Marquinhos, Mendes; Vitinha, Verratti, Soler; Messi; Mbappe, Neymar
