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

Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier could once again be working without three players for Sunday evening's Ligue 1 clash with Lyon at the Groupama Stadium.

French centre-back Presnel Kimpembe picked up a hamstring injury in the 1-0 win over Brest last weekend, and the issue is serious enough to rule him out for six weeks.

With Kimpembe sidelined, Danilo Pereira is once again expected to take up a spot in the back three alongside Marquinhos and Sergio Ramos in front of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Keylor Navas was absent from the travelling party to face Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League due to back pain, but Donnarumma has now established himself as PSG's number one.

Galtier's third and final absentee should be Renato Sanches (adductor), but the PSG boss has refused to break up the Marco Verratti and Vitinha partnership - Carlos Soler and Fabian Ruiz are primed to take up spots on the bench again.

However, the Parisiens coach may be tempted into some changes out wide, as Achraf Hakimi and Juan Bernat provide fresh legs over Nuno Mendes and Nordi Mukiele following the journey back from Israel.

Lionel Messi became the first player to score in 18 consecutive Champions League seasons against Maccabi Haifa, and the 35-year-old should link up with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe once more.

The reigning champions will also be making the journey without their away fans, who have been barred entry due to the use of pyrotechnics against Nantes on September 3.

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