Overview
- PSG travel with a depleted group, with five players confirmed out and long-term absentees Matvey Safonov and Quentin Ndjantou still sidelined.
- Luis Enrique said Fabian Ruiz was hurt in the midweek defeat at Sporting CP and is highly unlikely to be available due to the quick turnaround.
- Lee Kang-in returned to group training after more than a month out yet remains a strong doubt, and Joao Neves is being managed cautiously for muscular discomfort.
- Achraf Hakimi’s availability is uncertain, with one report saying he has not resumed training after AFCON even as other previews suggest he could feature.
- Auxerre sit 17th and regain Gideon Mensah and captain Elisha Owusu from suspension for the 7pm UK kick-off, and a PSG draw or win would temporarily return them to the top of Ligue 1.
