PSG XI vs Lorient – Predicted lineup and team news
PSG Team News
One notable absentee for PSG is Achraf Hakimi, who will not feature after enjoying additional recovery time following his standout two-goal performance at Brest last week. The Moroccan full-back, who helped seal a 3-0 win for Paris, is resting for this round.
Central midfielders Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz may be in line for a return, with Neves stepping back into training after a recent hamstring injury. Ruiz is close to full fitness as he recovers from an adductor issue. Both are expected to be in contention for Wednesday’s fixture.
After weeks on the sidelines, Ousmane Dembélé is back in action for PSG. The Ballon d’Or recipient returned during the Brest match and made his presence felt in the Champions League contest against Bayer Leverkusen. He is primed to start and further bolster the Parisian attack.
The reigning champions boast 20 points from nine matches and reinforced their strong form with a dominant win against Brest in their most recent outing.

Possible PSG starting XI: Chevalier; Zaire-Emery, Zabarnyi, Marquinhos, Mendes; Mayulu, Vitinha, Kang-in; Barcola, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
