How Paris Saint-Germain could line up against Monaco

How PSG could line up against Monaco

Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino has no fresh injury or suspension concerns to work around for Sunday evening's Ligue 1 encounter with Monaco at the Parc des Princes.

Les Parisiens continue to make do without Neymar and Julian Draxler for the time being, while the luckless Sergio Ramos is highly doubtful as he bids to shake off a muscle injury.

Nuno Mendes was also hooked on the 50-minute mark against Club Brugge in the Champions League in midweek, but Juan Bernat will expect to return here either way.

The same can be said for Presnel Kimpembe - a slight doubt with abdominal pain - as Abdou Diallo prepares to make way, while Gianluigi Donnarumma will aim to keep Keylor Navas out of the team after the Costa Rican was at fault for Lens' opener in last week's draw.

An unchanged midfield could see Marco Verratti, Georginio Wijnaldum and Idrissa Gueye all take to the field once again, as Leandro Paredes and Danilo Pereira wait in the wings.

With no Neymar available, the trio of Angel Di Maria, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe will likely form the attacking line, with the latter becoming the youngest player ever to hit 30 Champions League goals in midweek.

PSG possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Bernat; Verratti, Gueye, Wijnaldum; Di Maria, Messi, Mbappe
