Thus, French boss Galtier may choose to either restore Vitinha to the engine room to join Fabian Ruiz or, alternatively, the Spaniard may be substituted out as Danilo Pereira advances up the field. Both of these options are viable given the circumstances.During this time, Kylian Mbappe worked out on his own earlier in the week. He is not said to be suffering from any injuries and should be ok moving forward.

PSGprobable XI:
Donnarumma; Mukiele, Marquinhos, Ramos; Hakimi, Pereira, Vitinha, Mendes; Messi, Mbappe, Neymar.

Nice probable lineup

Todibo, a player for Nice, is now serving a one-game suspension after setting an unwelcome record in Ligue 1 with his rapid red card against Angers. As a result of this infraction, Todibo established the record for the fastest red card ever shown in the league. The main injury issue for the away team is Aaron Ramsey, whose hamstring rupture should improve in the near future.

On the other hand,Italian youngster Mattia Viti should be inserted into the backline with the 38-year-old Dante. Marcin Bulka will be desperate to keep his starting shot-stopper spot against his previous side and will try to prevent the return of Kasper Schmeichel. The Leicester legend wasdemoted to the bench by Favre for the previous fixture because of claimed issues with his fitness and attitude.
