"Dembele's absence adds to a recent disrupted run of form following a fine 2024-25 campaign, with the Frenchman making just 16 appearances in all competitions this season. He has still managed to register nine goal involvements (five goals, four assists), with only Joao Neves (11), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (13) and Vitinha (15) managing more for PSG. The 28-year-old missed domestic fixtures against Lyon and Le Havre with a calf injury before returning in the Parisiens' 5-3 win over Tottenham in the Champions League."
"Chevalier also misses out after sustaining an ankle injury against Monaco following a tackle from Lamine Camara, meaning Matvei Safonov is likely to start between the sticks. Hakimi, meanwhile, faces a race against time to be fit for Morocco's Africa Cup of Nations campaign, having also suffered an ankle injury against Bayern Munich, but Desire Doue has recovered from a thigh issue and is included in PSG's travelling party."
