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

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Christophe Galtier will be able to call upon Achraf Hakimi for Saturday's Ligue 1 finale against Clermont at the Parc des Princes.

The Moroccan right-back has been absent for Les Parisiens' last two matches through suspension, but he will be back at Galtier's disposal for what is expected to be the Parisiens' head coach's final game in charge.

Galtier comes into gameweek 38 with another unenviable injury list to deal with, though, as all of Neymar (ankle), Nordi Mukiele (hamstring), Nuno Mendes (thigh), Fabian Ruiz (adductor) and Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles) will sit this one out.

Marquinhos (adductor) and Hugo Ekitike (hamstring) will also need once-overs ahead of the weekend, while backup goalkeeper Sergio Rico was recently admitted to intensive care with a head injury sustained in a horse riding accident.

Gianluigi Donnarumma would have started in between the sticks either way, while El Chadaille Bitshiabu could be called upon in the backline once more if Marquinhos does not make the cut; Sergio Ramos and Danilo Pereira will accompany the youngster in that instance.

With Hakimi back in the fold, Warren Zaire-Emery's brief run in the first XI will come to an end, while Juan Bernat continues on the left flank in Mendes's continued absence.

Vitinha and Marco Verratti should be in no danger of losing their spots in midfield, but Ekitike's hamstring problem is not expected to keep him out of this one, so a switch to a 3-4-3 from a 3-5-2 may be in order.

Renato Sanches will likely be sacrificed if that is the case, as Ekitike returns to the frontline alongside Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, who will bid a bittersweet farewell to the PSG crowd before leaving the club when his contract expires at the end of this month.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Pereira, Ramos, Bitshiabu; Hakimi, Vitinha, Verratti, Bernat; Messi, Ekitike, Mbappe
