Sports Mole looks at how Paris Saint-Germain could line up for Saturday's Ligue 1 clash against Nice at the Allianz Riviera.

Marco Verratti is the big doubt for Paris Saint-Germain heading into their important trip to Nice in Ligue 1 this Saturday.

The Italian midfielder was subbed on the hour mark of their 1-0 home defeat to Lyon last weekend with injury, but it is not yet clear if the issue is serious.

With Carlos Soler already out injured in midfield, 17-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery may come back into the side to make a 23rd appearance in his debut season.

Only two of PSG's star-studded attacking trio will be available, as Neymar is out with an ankle injury that has ended his campaign.

In Neymar's absence, PSG have moved to a 3-5-2 shape to give more balance in midfield, but recent results show it has not worked as well as expected.

With Christophe Galtier under mounting pressure to save his job after back-to-back home defeats, he has plenty of issues in defence to contend with.

Presnel Kimpembe is out for the rest of the season with an Achilles tendon injury, while Sergio Ramos and Nordi Mukiele are both absent with calf injuries.

One positive last week was the return of Marquinhos from a brief spell on the sidelines, and the Brazilian is set to make his 400th appearance for PSG this weekend.

Achraf Hakimi also returned to the starting line up at right wing-back at the perfect time, with Mukiele currently absent.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Danilo, Marquinhos, Bitshiabu; Hakimi, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Renato Sanches, Nuno Mendes; Messi, Mbappe
