Paris Saint-Germain will welcome OGC Nice to the Parc des Princes on Saturday for a Ligue 1 showdown.
PSG vs Nice – Predicted lineup and team news
PSG Team News
The hosts will be without Désiré Doué, who sustained a right thigh injury during their recent draw against Lorient. The young forward, just 20, had already contributed three goals in eight appearances this season and was visibly upset as he was stretchered off. He is anticipated to be out of action for several weeks following further evaluations after the international break.
Ousmane Dembélé is set to return to the starting XI after recovering from a hamstring problem, while Kang-In Lee and João Neves remain under close monitoring due to their ankle and hamstring issues respectively. Vitinha, who has been rewarded with the vice-captaincy owing to his strong performances, is expected to play a key role in midfield.
Manager Luis Enrique, speaking after the Lorient draw, revealed that most of the squad is fit and available. He also emphasised the club’s strategy of integrating promising young players into the rotation to effectively manage the team’s physical demands.
After a commanding 7-2 Champions League triumph over Bayer Leverkusen and a solid 3-0 victory at home against Brest, PSG found themselves frustrated against the resilient Lorient defence, despite dominating possession with 70% and creating multiple chances.

Possible PSG starting XI: Chevalier; Zaïre-Emery, Marquinhos, Zabarnyi, Mendes; Vitinha, Neves, Mayulu; Kvaratskhelia, Dembélé, Barcola.
