Team News

PSG
Nantes
  • Sergio Ramos is closing in on his long-awaited Paris Saint-Germain debut but won't be involved this weekend.
  • Marquinhos is also unavailable for PSG on Saturday but his Brazilian team-mate, Neymar, has made the squad.
  • Julian Draxler may not play again this year, while Rafinha is still being treated for his own injury.
  • Gigi Donnarumma has been sidelined with illness for Mauricio Pochettino's side so Keylor Navas will start in goal against Nantes.
  • Leo Messi featured for Argentina during the break despite returning to South America with an injury and may not be risked from the start here.
  • Marco Verratti and Presnel Kimpembe are also coming back from injuries for the home side.
  • Sébastien Corchia is back from suspension, but the visitors will miss his fellow defender Nicolas Pallois.
  • With Girotto dropping into central defence, Pedro Chirivella should partner Wylan Cyprien in midfield.
  • Save Pallois, it should be as you were for Antoine Kombouaré, who has Les Canaris off to a better-than-expected start this season.

Prediction

  • Nantes have been quietly impressive this season, but are unlikely to get one over on the leaders even ahead of what will be a vital match in the Champions League in the week.
  • PSG's raft of uncertainties is a concern, but in the likes of Di María and Mbappé there is more than enough verve about this side for a win, even if it's not as comfortable as the home support may prefer.
