Nordi Mukiele - Faces late fitness test Saturday Mukiele was named in the 20-man squad for Saturday's match versus Nantes but will be facing late fitness test due to a calf problem.

Impact Mukiele trained individually Friday and mostly jogging due to his issue and while he'll make the trip this will surely put his starting role under threat. Achraf Hakimi is also out which could see Timothee Pembele get the nod on the right flank.

Achraf Hakimi - Indicted by French officials Hakimi (hamstring) was indicted for sexual assault and his status moving forward will be in a limbo, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Hakimi was just back in full training Friday and was expected to return to action next week but now this development puts his whole season under threat. There is still nothing official from PSG though in terms of internal suspension and he could still be able to play until final judgement in court but his situation should be monitored closely for the time being. Nordi Mukiele is also dealing with a small issue and Timothee Pembele could be up for a start on the right flank.

Marco Verratti - Suspended for Nantes clash Verratti is suspended for Saturday's match versus Nantes.

Impact Verratti will miss one game due to yellow card accumulation. Carlos Soler is the favorite to take his spot in the middle of the park.

Nuno Mendes - Holds clean sheet in Le Classique Mendes generated two dribbles, four tackles (three won), one clearance and one interception in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus Marseille.

Impact Mendes and the PSG back line finally held their own for first clean sheet in last eight matches as the team had allowed seven goals over his previous three matches alone. The best news of all though for him is that this time at least he returned quickly from his problem last week without missing any time which has always been a problem with him and his injury tendencies.

Marquinhos - Takes one shot in shutout win Marquinhos registered one shot (zero on goal), two tackles, three clearances and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Marseille.

Impact Marquinhos and the PSG back line finally held their own for first clean sheet in last eight matches as the team had allowed seven goals over his previous three matches alone. The veteran also hasn't been much of an offensive factor over that period as well.

Nordi Mukiele - Holds clean sheet for win in return Mukiele recorded two crosses (zero accurate), three tackles (two won) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Marseille.

Impact Mukiele and the PSG back line finally held their own for first clean sheet in last eight matches as the team had allowed seven goals over his previous three matches alone. That was his first appearance since mid-January but with Achraf Hakimi and now Presnel Kimpembe both out he could see heavy minutes right away.

Sergio Ramos - Wins three aerials in shutout win Ramos generated two tackles (two won), three aerials won and five clearances in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Marseille.

Impact Ramos and the PSG back line finally held their own for first clean sheet in last eight matches as the team had allowed seven goals over his previous three matches alone. The veteran remains with mostly defensive role and has very little presence up front of late.

Danilo Pereira - Could see increase in playing time Danilo generated three clearances and two interceptions in 74 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Marseille.

Impact Danilo put in a solid shift off the bench in defense helping his team to first clean sheet in last eight matches. With Presnel Kimpembe out for the rest of the season now the former will likely benefit the most and have a serious role in the back line moving forward.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Verratti - Makes two tackles in Le Classique Verratti registered two tackles (one won), two clearances and one interception in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Marseille.

Impact Verratti also added four aerials won and four fouls drawn in a superb defensive effort for the big win on derby day. The midfielder remains a pillar in the champions' midfield but his production affects seriously just a limited numbers of fantasy formats.
