How Paris Saint-Germain could line up against Nice

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

Paris Saint-Germain duo Presnel Kimpembe and Marco Verratti will not be available for Saturday's Ligue 1 clash with Nice at the Parc des Princes.

The two players have been served one-game bans for an accumulation of yellow cards, but they are both dealing with injuries anyway, with Kimpembe out for another few weeks with his hamstring problem.

Meanwhile, Verratti sustained a calf issue in the 1-0 win over Lyon before the international break, which forced him to miss Italy's Nations League games, but Renato Sanches has now recovered from an adductor injury.

Keylor Navas has also shaken off back trouble, but Gianluigi Donnarumma is Christophe Galtier's out-and-out number one and will be protected by Sergio Ramos and Marquinhos here.

It would not be a complete shock to see Nordi Mukiele feature on the right of the back three, as Danilo Pereira could be pushed further up the field to deputise for Verratti in the middle.

Pereira has filled in at centre-back during Kimpembe's absence, but Galtier may value his defensive qualities in the engine room alongside Vitinha, who is primed to come back in for Fabian Ruiz.

Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes are set to occupy their usual wing-back roles, and Mbappe trained individually earlier this week and is reportedly set to be rested here, with Hugo Ekitike instead joining Lionel Messi and Neymar up front.

PSG possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Mukiele, Marquinhos, Ramos; Hakimi, Pereira, Vitinha, Mendes; Messi, Ekitike, Neymar
