Paris Saint-Germain team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Lens

Sports Mole rounds up all of Paris Saint-Germain's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Ligue 1 clash with Lens.

Paris Saint-Germain will aim to wrap up the Ligue 1 title with four games to spare when Lens pay a visit to the Parc des Princes on Saturday evening.

Mauricio Pochettino's side inched closer towards the title with a 3-0 midweek win over Angers, as Kylian Mbappe, Sergio Ramos and Marquinhos struck at the Stade Raymond Kopa.

Marseille's 3-2 victory over Nantes means that PSG could not confirm their status as French champions on Wednesday night, but victory over Lens will see Les Parisiens regain their rightful crown.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of PSG's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Franck Haise's side.
