Nuno Mendes - Left on bench vs. Monaco Mendes was an unused substitute in Saturday's defeat against Monaco.

Impact Mendes started each of PSG's first three games of February in all competitions after returning from a muscular injury he suffered during the World Cup, but he was given a rest last weekend ahead of the Champions League Round of 16 clash against Bayern Munich on Tuesday. Mendes will be expected to start that match ahead of Juan Bernat at left-back/left wing-back.

Marco Verratti - Should be available Tuesday Verratti (thigh) was called up by PSG to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg on Tuesday.

Impact A red card suspension and a couple of injuries have limited Verratti to just 90 minutes of football since New Years' Day, and 76 of those minutes came in the French Cup defeat to Marseille last week. He is expected to be available for selection against Bayern in Tuesday's UCL match, but considering his lack of game time recently he may not be fit enough to start.

Lionel Messi - Named in UCL squad to face Bayern Messi (hamstring) has been called up by PSG for Tuesday's Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Bayern Munich.

Impact Messi missed Saturday's defeat to Monaco with a slight hamstring issue, but he is expected to be available for selection in Tuesday's UCL match. With Kylian Mbappe (thigh) also racing to get fit, it's possible that Hugo Ekitike gets the start alongside Neymar up front with both stars of the 2022 World Cup Final on the bench.

Kylian Mbappe - Training with team Mbappe (thigh) participated in full training with PSG on Monday, manager Christophe Galtier announced in a press conference. He has been called up to the squad for Tuesday's Champi...

Impact Mbappe was initially expected to miss three weeks when he went down with a thigh injury against Montpellier on February 1, but he has recovered quickly and was able to train individually on Sunday and with his teammates on Monday. It seems like whether or not he starts against Bayern will be a game time decision before Tuesday's match, but Galtier is expecting him to be involved in some fashion in the first leg.

Kylian Mbappe - In squad list to face Bayern Mbappe (thigh) is in the initial squad list for Tuesday's match against Bayern Munich.

Impact Mbappe was supposed to be out three weeks, but it looks like it may only be a two-week injury for him. While he's missed the last two matches, there's no reason to doubt he could start Tuesday. Following the manager's press conference Monday, more information will hopefully be known on how many minutes Mbappe can go.

Juan Bernat - Assists in 3-1 defeat Bernat assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), three tackles (two won) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Monaco.

Impact Bernat was active on the flank earning his second straight assist as a starter though he's now earned just one clean sheet since the World Cup. Nuno Mendes however should be back in the lineup for the big clash with Bayern.

Neymar - Sends four crosses in defeat Neymar had one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Monaco.

Impact Neymar was unable to put up his usual high numbers in peripheral stats and didn't get on the score sheet either. In the mean time he's merely had one goal and one assist in five matches since the World Cup and is certainly far from his fantasy potential at the moment.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Makes seven saves in 3-1 defeat Donnarumma had seven saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus Monaco.

Impact Donnarumma has now racked up 23 saves over his past five matches but with seven goals allowed for no clean sheets over that span he's been a bit hampered with his fantasy production of late.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Achraf Hakimi - Returns off bench Saturday Hakimi registered one tackle (zero won) in 10 minutes off the bench Saturday's 3-1 defeat versus Monaco. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 71st minute.

Impact Hakimi wasn't healthy enough to start here but with a few more days of training should be full go for Bayern clash. He's been in a stellar form of late with one goal and two assists over his past two starts but hasn't had a clean sheet in six straight starts now.

Presnel Kimpembe - Could feature versus Monaco Kimpembe (achilles) was named in the 20-man squad for Saturday's match versus Monaco.

Impact Kimpembe has now been in full training for over a week and should be able to make the final cut this time around. That being said though, he's barely played all season due to injuries and likely won't be forced to heavy minutes right off the gate in his return.

Achraf Hakimi - Faces late fitness test Saturday Hakimi was named in the 20-man squad for Saturday's match versus Monaco but could be facing a late fitness test due to muscle fatigue, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Hakimi has played quite a lot of late with Nordi Mukiele still sidelined and the former could be due some rest, especially given his current fitness struggles and with just days left ahead of the big clash with Bayern. That could mean a start for Timothy Pembele on the right flank.

Marco Verratti - Ruled out with hip injury Verratti will miss Saturday's clash against Monaco due to a hip injury, PSG announced Friday.

Impact Verratti has missed PSG's last two Ligue 1 games with a red card suspension, and he's now set to be sidelined Saturday with a thigh injury. Fabian Ruiz, Carlos Soler, Danilo, Renato Sanches (thigh) and even Warren Zaire-Emery are all options to replace him in midfield for the match.
