Suspended for Strasbourg match Gueye is suspended for Friday's match versus Strasbourg.

Impact There was always a chance some of the starters, Gueye included, to be rotated anyway with the title now secured for Parisians but this will settle things for the midfielder and could open up a spot for Ander Herrera after finally shaking off his issue.

Quiet in Le Classique Gueye had two tackles (both won), 38 passes completed and a yellow card in Sunday's 2-1 win over Marseille.

Impact Gueye had an overall a pretty quiet night here and his substitution was expected may be even sooner.

Absent from injury report Saturday Gueye (knock) wasn't included in the injury report and could be available for Sunday's match versus Lorient.

Impact Gueye left the midweek Senegal game with a slight limp but it may have been just a cramp from fatigue. His absence from the report is a massive boost for Parisians who are already missing players in midfield. Gueye though hasn't been a starter of late and will likely remain in a reserve role again as a precaution which would keep his upside limited.

Exits Egypt clash with injury Gueye limped off and was replaced in the 112th minute of Tuesday's World Cup qualifier of Senegal versus Egypt with a suspected injury.

Impact Gueye went through two exhausting clashes for his country including extra time in the second leg and his problem may have been just a cramp.

Plays off bench in defeat Gueye played 21 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Monaco.

On bench Tuesday Gueye (rest) was named to the match-day squad versus Real Madrid on Tuesday.

Impact Gueye last played for PSG on Dec. 22, missing the last five matches while on international duty with Senegal. Barring any setbacks, Gueye should be a near-lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI but figures to be a mid-range fantasy option at best given his limited offensive upside.

FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still out after AFCON Gueye (international duty) is scheduled to return to training Friday and won't be available for Friday's match versus Rennes, L'Equipe reports.

Starting against Saint-Etienne Gueye has been selected in the XI to face Saint-Etienne Sunday.

Questionable for St. Etienne match Gueye has been diagnosed with a muscle discomfort and is questionable for Sunday's match versus St. Etienne, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Gueye was replaced in the second half Wednesday versus City after feeling some pain in his leg. The initial tests however are very positive and came back negative for any serious damage and with a good recovery over the next few days he has a good chance to suit up as soon as Sunday again. 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.
