Renato Sanches - Exits injured early Saturday Sanches was replaced in the 14th minute of Saturday's match versus Toulouse with a suspected thigh injury, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Sanches was finally given the nod for his first start since October but unfortunately it was cut very short because of his latest issue this year. The player left the pitch in tears and could set for a lengthy absence. Marco Verratti is back from his suspension and should take over in the middle of the park.

Presnel Kimpembe - Remains sidelined versus Toulouse Kimpembe (achilles) didn't make the 20-man squad for Saturday's match versus Toulouse.

Impact Kimpembe returned to full training Thursday but given he's been mostly injured all season, PSG apparently want to be cautious with him and will keep him on the shelf for at least another game. Sergio Ramos is also out which will see Danilo slide back on defense.

Sergio Ramos - Ruled out for Toulouse clash Ramos has been diagnosed with a groin injury and is ruled out for Saturday's match versus Toulouse.

Impact Ramos was initially considered to be dealing with a head injury but it appears he's actually injured his groin during the fall after taking the blow to the head. The defender is currently on individual regimen and is expected back to full training Monday. That would likely force Danilo to slide back on defense with Renato Sanches getting the nod in the middle of the park.

Neymar - Will miss another game Neymar (groin) remains on individual regimen and is expected back to full training next week.

Impact Neymar continues his recovery for a few more days and is not expected back for at least a few more days which will force him out of the Toulouse clash. With Kylian Mbappe also out Hugo Ekitike seems to be poised to start while Carlos Soler and Warren Zaire-Emery will compete for the other vacant spot.

Presnel Kimpembe - Returns to full training Thursday Kimpembe has returned to full training Thursday and could be available for Saturday's match versus Toulouse.

Impact Kimpembe is finally fully back on the pitch though with merely 15 minutes of action since October and just one start since early September he'll surely be reintegrated slowly to action and may need at least a few games before bidding for a starting role again.

Lionel Messi - Scores in win over Montpellier Messi scored one goal to go with nine shots (three on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Montpellier.

Impact Messi was absolutely brilliant here despite the absence of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe most of the game. The maestro seems to be returning to his World Cup form and that's in the nick of time with the return of the Champions League approaching.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Ruiz - Scores, assists in 3-1 win Ruiz scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory versus Montpellier.

Impact Ruiz was a creative force to reckon with in this clash and was involved in two of the three goals for his team as he finally notched his first goal and assist in PSG colors. The midfielder does offer some offensive appeal overall but still mostly produces defensive peripheral stats.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Ekitike - Assists off bench in win Ekitike assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Montpellier.

Impact Ekitike turned in a solid shift off the bench after the injury to Kylian Mbappe and keeps getting on the score sheet as he's now mounted three goals and three assists over his past seven matches (five starts). Mbappe will have to miss multiple weeks which means plenty of playing time for Ekitike over that span.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Achraf Hakimi - Assists in 3-1 victory Hakimi assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Montpellier.

Impact Hakimi finally delivered his first major offensive contribution after the World Cup in a very impressive display. The full-back seems to be coming back to his own in the nick of time with the Champions League return approaching though with just one shutout in last six matches for PSG his fantasy production has been hurt a bit.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Soler - Quiet in win over Montpellier Soler had one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Wednesday's 3-1 win against Montpellier.

Impact Soler was a bit quiet statistically but he's now started in back to back matches and three times in the last five affairs and with a few injuries in the squad he may keep seeing regular time for the time being. He's still to score or assist after the World Cup.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Makes two saves in 3-1 win Donnarumma recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Montpellier.

Impact Donnarumma has now racked up 12 saves over his past three matches but with just one clean sheet in last six matches he's been a bit limited in fantasy formats.

Marco Verratti - Suspension extended Verratti was handed two additional matches of suspension, one of which however is conditional, LFP announced.

Impact Verratti's additional game of suspension would see him miss Saturday's clash with Toulouse and he'll be back for next week's Coupe de France clash with Marseille. In his absence Fabian Ruiz and Renato Sanches could see more time in the middle of the park.

Sergio Ramos - Status uncertain for weekend Ramos (head) will have to be evaluated ahead of Saturday's clash against Toulouse, PSG announced Thursday.

Impact Ramos had to sub out in the first half of Wednesday's win over Montpellier after suffering a head injury, and he is still undergoing medical examinations on Thursday. He will likely be a game time decision on Saturday, with Danilo likely to slide back into central defense if necessary.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kylian Mbappe - Ruled out for three weeks Mbappe (thigh) has been diagnosed with a lesion of the left thigh at the level of the femoral biceps and is ruled out for three weeks.

Impact Mbappe's issue is a massive blow for Parisians mostly because this timetable will see him miss the first leg of their crucial clash with Bayern Munich in the Champions League. He'll also miss clashes with Lille and Monaco on domestic level and the club is hopeful to get him back for Le Classique at the end of the month. In his absence Hugo Ekitike and Carlos Soler will likely see an increase in playing time up front.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kylian Mbappe - Team confirms thigh injury PSG confirmed on Thursday that Mbappe picked up a thigh injury during Wednesday's match against Montpellier.

Impact Mbappe is listed as day-to-day as the team will see how serious the injury is. However, PSG believe it is not serious and will not speed up his return with a busy schedule coming up.
