Paris Saint-Germain will once again have to cope without several of their star names for Saturday's Ligue 1 clash with Nantes at the Parc des Princes.

Injury-plagued centre-back Presnel Kimpembe will miss the rest of the season after rupturing his Achilles in last week's win over Marseille, joining Neymar and Renato Sanches in the medical bay.

Yellow card magnet Marco Verratti must also serve a one-game ban for an accumulation of bookings, which will open up a spot for Danilo Pereira to come into the Parisiens' engine room.

Having seen his side sweep aside Marseille with a 3-5-2 setup, Christophe Galtier would have wanted to stick with a similar setup here, but the absence of Achraf Hakimi makes that unlikely.

The Moroccan missed the win over Marseille with a thigh injury before being accused of rape by a 23-year-old woman - he has since been charged by French prosecutors, but PSG are standing by him and have announced that he will miss this game with his thigh problem before returning to full training next week.

As a result, Nordi Mukiele could feature on the right of a back four with Marquinhos and Sergio Ramos in front of Gianluigi Donnarumma, with Nuno Mendes on the left flank.

Danilo can expect to come into a midfield boasting Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz, allowing the underwhelming Carlos Soler to return in the number 10 position.

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe both struck landmark goals in Le Classique last week - the former bagging his 700th career club goal as Mbappe equalled Edinson Cavani's all-time record of 200 for PSG - and Messi would subsequently pip his French counterpart to FIFA's The Best Men's Player award.
