Champions League: Benfica heavy favorite against Brugge

Thriving Benfica couldn't be in a better position to keep its good run going in the Champions League

MARCH 6, 2023 • Associated Press

Neymar - Out for season Neymar is set to undergo a ligament repair surgery on his right ankle which will rule him out for 3-4 months, effectively ending his season.

Impact Neymar has suffered a litany of ankle injuries throughout the years, and he often incurs them in early spring right when crunch time begins in the Champions League. Following his latest sprain a few weeks ago on Feb. 19, he has decided to undergo an operation to repair the ligaments in his ankle in an effort to try to prevent future injuries like this, but he will be sidelined until at least June while he recovers. The UCL Final this season is on June 10 so there's a possibility he could potentially recover for that game specifically, but of course PSG would have to make it all the way to the final for that to be a possibility.

Marco Verratti - Available for Bayern clash Verratti (suspension) is available for Wednesday's match versus Bayern Munich

Impact Verratti is off his domestic ban and will head into the big clash with Bayern well rested. With just one assist and no goals all season though his fantasy production remains limited in most formats.

Timothee Pembele - Assists off bench for win Pembele assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in four minutes off the bench in Saturday's 4-2 victory over Nantes.

Impact Pembele made an immediate impact after his introduction by setting up the goal that sealed the deal for his team. That's his first major contribution of the season in just his third appearance. In addition there's a slight chance he gets the nod to start midweek versus Bayern which could happen in case none of Achraf Hakimi or Nordi Mukiele is healthy enough to do so after both of them are currently dealing with fitness issues.

Danilo Pereira - Scores in Nantes win Danilo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 4-2 win against Nantes.

Impact Danilo headed home the fifth goal of the game to ultimately give PSG all the cushion they would need in this contest. Notably, he was in the starting lineup after appearing as a substitute his last time out and played the full 90 in the process.

Kylian Mbappe - Nets against Nantes Mbappe scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 4-2 win over Nantes.

Impact Mbappe demonstrated his class with efficiency Saturday, as he put three of his five shot attempts on target. His efforts were rewarded during second half stoppage time when he found the back of the net courtesy of a Timothee Pembele assist. He'll hope for a similar showing and result Wednesday against Bayern in UCL play.

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Three saves, two conceded Donnarumma made three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 4-2 win over Nantes.

Impact Donnarumma was beaten twice in short order during the late stages of the first half, but he stopped the bleeding and ultimately did enough to help PSG claim the victory here. Next up is a quick midweek UCL turnaround against Bayern Munich.

Lionel Messi - Scores in win over Nantes Messi scored one goal to go with seven shots (four on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 4-2 win against Nantes.

Impact Messi was dominant, yet again, and he paced all players on the pitch in shots attempted. His 12th minute strike opened the scoring in this fixture, and it also represents his 13th goal in 21 league matches this season. The Parisians have a demanding turnaround this week with a Wednesday UCL tie at Bayern Munich.

Nordi Mukiele - Exits Saturday with injury Mukiele has suffered an achilles tendon issue in Saturday's 4-2 win over Nantes, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Mukiele just returned from a calf problem and is now out again with a different issue. He tried to continue initially but had to eventually surrender his spot on the pitch. The initial forecast is positive since he was stepped on and it seemed like it's more of a knock or a bruising rather than a serious injury but further tests would have to confirm that though.

Marquinhos - Suffers rib injury Saturday Marquinhos has suffered a blow to the ribs in Saturday's 4-2 win over Nantes, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Marquinhos' problem could be a massive blow for PSG just days ahead of the big clash with Bayern. The center-back initially felt positive about his chances to play Wednesday though more tests would surely have to confirm that.

Nordi Mukiele - Starting Saturday Mukiele (calf) is in the lineup for Saturday's clash against Nantes.

Impact Mukiele passed his fitness test and will start Saturday after picking up a calf injury earlier in the week. He has already missed six matches prior with a hamstring issue, but with Achraf Hakimi dealing with legal issues, Neymar and Renato Saches injured, and Marco Veratti serving suspension, it leaves room for the midfielder to get some minutes on the pitch for the team.
