PSG lineup vs. Arsenal: Predicted XI for Champions League matchday two clash

Donnarumma among eight concerns: How PSG could line up against Arsenal

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Paris Saint-Germain could line up for Tuesday's Champions League league phase clash with Arsenal.

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has received several fitness boosts for Tuesday's Champions League league phase battle with Arsenal.

The French champions were missing eight players for their 3-1 Ligue 1 victory over Rennes on Friday night, but five of them could play a part in the clash with the Gunners.

Marco Asensio - who sustained a muscle injury against Girona on matchday one of the Champions League - is one of them, while Desire Doue, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Vitinha and Nuno Mendes are also in the squad after their various issues.

However, all of Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles), Goncalo Ramos (ankle) and Lucas Hernandez (ACL) are missing, while Ousmane Dembele has been dropped after a reported bust-up with Enrique.

Having recovered from his illness, Mendes should be in line to replace Lucas Beraldo at left-back, as the Portuguese joins Donnarumma, Willian Pacho, Marquinhos and Achraf Hakimi in defence.

Should Vitinha not be deemed ready to start, his countryman Joao Neves should join fellow youngster Warren Zaire-Emery in the engine room, as well as Spanish Euro 2024 champion Fabian Ruiz.

The in-form Bradley Barcola - who has six goals in six Ligue 1 appearances this season - is a shoo-in out wide, and Enrique has a key decision to make over who will replace Dembele out wide.

Lee Kang-in started up front and scored on Friday night after Randal Kolo Muani's wasteful substitute performance against Girona, but the latter may get the nod in a central role given that he can offer a more physical presence from set-pieces, where Tuesday's game could very well be won and lost.

Lee could very well deputise for the banished Dembele on the right flank, though, unless Enrique springs a surprise by starting a newly-fit Asensio.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Neves, Zaire-Emery; Lee, Kolo Muani, Barcola
