Pre-match preview

PSG

Three injuries during Tuesday's 4-2 Champions League victory over Barcelona have forced Luis Enrique to make several changes for Monday's home fixture against Olympique Lyonnais. Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Marquinhos were all forced off during the match. Kvaratskhelia suffered a serious knee injury involving a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Ferran Torres is therefore expected to return as the central striker, supported by Désiré Doué and Maghnes Akliouche. Doué scored the opening goal against Barcelona and later provided an assist.

Defensive changes are also necessary. Ilya Zabarnyi is expected to replace the injured Marquinhos, while Lucas Digne should start at left-back in the absence of Nuno Mendes. Lucas Hernández and Willian Pacho are competing for the other central defensive position, with Pacho having taken several knocks against Barcelona. Hernández scored in that match and could retain his starting place. In midfield, Warren Zaïre-Emery is an alternative to Vitinha, who has accumulated considerable playing time in recent weeks.

Lyon

Several changes are expected to Olympique Lyonnais' starting lineup following Thursday's 3-0 Europa League defeat against Hoffenheim. Paulo Fonseca rested several regular starters in Germany and is likely to restore them for Monday's visit to Paris Saint-Germain. Captain Corentin Tolisso has started the previous two matches on the bench because of fitness concerns, but he hopes to return to the starting eleven. Tyler Morton is also expected to feature in midfield. Fonseca has stressed that Lyon cannot simply repeat the approach that brought them a 2-1 victory against PSG last season.

Injuries to Loïs Openda and Pavel Šulc have left Lyon short of attacking options. Kaïl Boudache is expected to lead the line, although Ernest Nuamah could also operate centrally. Dutch defender Ruben Kluivert is likely to continue at left-back, with Abner remaining an alternative. Nicolas Tagliafico and Mohamed Ouedraogo are also unavailable through injury, while Keito Nakamura is suspended following his red card against Nice.
