Marquinhos will also be sidelined for this weekend’s league game with Saint-Etienne and April 21’s French Cup last-eight tie after missing last Saturday’s league win at Strasbourg.

Forward Mauro Icardi and defenders Layvin Kurzawa and Juan Bernat are also unavailable for coach Mauricio Pochettino with fitness issues.

As mentioned, prior, PSG are impossible to rule this amusement and are anticipated to play on the counter.

Be that as it may, they might discover things troublesome against a Bayern side who will see to be more cautious in their counter-pressing, with maybe indeed a more profound defensive line. It seems to make it difficult for PSG to use the pace and quality of attackers like Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

Bayern Munich can take advantage of this situation but PSG still has the wonderful striker Mbappe who can score anytime during the match.

Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Navas; Dagba, Pereira, Kimpembe, Diallo; Paredes, Gueye; Di Maria, Neymar, Draxler; Mbappe

 Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Pavard, Boateng, Hernandez, Davies; Kimmich, Alaba; Sane, Muller, Coman; Choupo-Moting
