PSG XI vs Lyon – Predicted lineup and team news
PSG team news
Paris Saint-Germain enter this game nursing a growing injury list following a 2-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday, during which three crucial players were forced off the pitch.
Right-back Achraf Hakimi had to leave the field in the seventh minute of first-half stoppage time after a clash with Bayern’s Luis Diaz, who was sent off. PSG later confirmed that Hakimi has suffered a serious left ankle sprain, sidelining him for several weeks, with estimates of up to six weeks out. This injury also puts his availability for Morocco’s upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, starting 21 December, in doubt.
Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé was also substituted off in the 25th minute due to a calf strain and is expected to be out for the coming weeks. He is likely to miss France’s forthcoming World Cup qualifying matches.
Meanwhile, left-back Nuno Mendes, who finished the Bayern match, has a sprained left knee and is expected to be unavailable for a similar period. Reports indicate that these three injury setbacks could keep them on the sidelines until the end of 2025, with PSG expected to provide further updates post-international break.
Additionally, midfielder Désiré Doué remains sidelined, adding to PSG’s injury woes. Forward Bradley Barcola skipped team training on Thursday due to fatigue after the Bayern match, casting doubt on his participation this weekend and complicating PSG’s attacking options further.
