Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Paris Saint-Germain could line up for Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg with Arsenal.

Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique has confirmed that Ousmane Dembele will be available for Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg with Arsenal at the Parc des Princes.

The on-fire Frenchman scored his 33rd goal of the season in all competitions to give PSG a 1-0 win in last week's first leg, but victory came at a cost as he sustained a hamstring injury not long after.

Dembele's problem kept him out of the 2-1 Ligue 1 loss to Strasbourg at the weekend, but he did not sustain anything serious and will be fine to take his place in the final third on home soil.

The deadly duo of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue will most likely bomb down the flanks either side of him, but Goncalo Ramos is waiting in the wings in case Dembele is not risked from the start.

Bradley Barcola struck PSG's consolation in the loss to Strasbourg and is another option through the centre, but Ramos is a more natural number nine option and will likely get the nod in an emergency.

The latter is one of two injury concerns for Les Parisiens alongside Lee Kang-in, but the South Korean was always going to drop out for this one as Joao Neves, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz work in tandem in midfield.

It will be all change at the back too, as Achraf Hakimi, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Willian Pacho, Marquinhos and Nuno Mendes all return after being rested at the weekend.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
