Quiet in draw to Lyon Wijnaldum had one shot (off target), one aerial won and 43 passes completed in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Lyon.

Impact Wijnaldum was awfully quiet here and he's been invisible in a few straight matches now. The midfielder looked much better just before that though with three goals and one assist in four appearances from early November until early December and will be hoping to return to something more of the lines of that production.

Impact Wijnaldum remains sidelined for the moment and will likely be rested this week entirely. He still has a chance to return for next week's double-header though.

Suffers injury, doubtful Sunday Wijnaldum has been diagnosed with a knee injury and is doubtful for Sunday's match versus St. Etienne, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Wijnaldum was left on the bench Wednesday versus City after feeling pain in his knee earlier in the day. His problem though is not expected to be a serious issue and he may be back as soon as Sunday. With a double-header coming up next week though it wouldn't be surprise if he gets rested versus Les Verts. Rafinha, Julian Draxler, Ander Herrera and Marco Verratti are out for longer periods and that could mean more playing time for Danilo over the next few weeks. Angel Di Maria could also see more playing time in central midfield.

Impact Wijnaldum was on fire here and seems to be finally finding his feet for Parisians after hammering his first scores for PSG. That's his second straight start and he's looked very positive in both which will likely keep him starting given the long-term absences for Marco Verratti and Leandro Paredes.

Quiet in win over Metz Wijnaldum had two shots (off target), one tackle won and 43 passes completed in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Metz.

Not in medical report Wijnaldum (ankle) wasn't mentioned in the PSG medical report and should be available for Sunday's match versus Lyon.

Impact Wijnaldum's problem was never expected to be a serious one but his absence from the report only confirms it additionally and he should be good to go for the derby. That being said though, with plenty of candidates for playing time in a loaded squad it wouldn't be a surprise if he gets eased off the bench just as a precaution.

Impact Wijnaldum isn't expected to be seriously hampered by this injury, but it appears he wasn't fully fit in his return from national team duty. As a result, it shouldn't be surprising to see him in the squad list for Sunday's match against Lyon.
