Georginio Wijnaldum - Returns to training Thursday Wijnaldum (ankle) has returned to training Thursday and could be available for Friday's match versus Rennes, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Wijnaldum is back in action and could be on the bench but given he's been sidelined for nearly a month and will merely have one training session before the game a start here is very doubtful. Leandro Paredes, Ander Herrera and Idrissa Gueye are also missing and Danilo and Julian Draxler could be up for starts in the middle of the park.

Ander Herrera - Could rejoin team shortly Herrera (thigh) is expected to re-join first team training Sunday, according to PSG's Medical Report.

Impact Herrera has been ruled out for Friday's clash with Rennes, but will hope to return to the first team Sunday. The midfielder is a decent fantasy option when healthy, but isn't one of the top options PSG bring to bear. He will hope to be fit and available for a Tuesday clash with Real Madrid, Idrissa Gueye is a possible replacement for Herrera in the meantime.

Neymar - Ruled out Friday Neymar (ankle) has been ruled out Friday and is continuing his recovery, according to the PSG Medical Report.

Impact Neymar isn't ready to return yet and is still doing recovery exercises, according to PSG. The forward is a top fantasy option when healthy, but he has struggled with injury throughout the start of 2022. Angel Di Maria will likely start in place of Neymar.

Leandro Paredes - Dealing with adductor injury Paredes picked up an adductor injury and is set to miss Friday's clash with Rennes, according to L' Equipe.

Impact Paredes will likely be sidelined for the first leg of the Champions League tie with Real Madrid, though it's possible he is fit for that match. The midfielder is mostly a depth option for the ridiculously talented Parisian side. The return of Idrissa Gueye in particular helps smooth the absence of Paredes.

Abdou Diallo - Returns from AFCON Diallo (international duty) will be available for Friday's match versus Rennes after finishing his campaign with Senegal at AFCON.

Impact Diallo will return on a very high note after winning AFCON with his national team but that could also see him on the bench versus Rennes as Parisians could let him rest over the weekend. If that happens Nuno Mendes will start again at left-back.

Idrissa Gueye - Returns from AFCON Gueye (international duty) will be available for Friday's match versus Rennes after finishing his campaign with Senegal at AFCON.

Impact Gueye will return on a very high note after winning AFCON with his national team but that could also see him on the bench versus Rennes as Parisians could let him rest over the weekend. If that happens Leandro Paredes and Danilo could get starts in midfield.

Presnel Kimpembe - Bags first goal of season Kimpembe scored on his lone shot and added two aerials won, two tackles (one won) and two clearances in Sunday's 5-1 win over Lille.

Impact Kimpembe lined up in the scoring parade and finally notched his first goal of the season. That was his first shot on goal since October though and with just three shots all season long before this one it'll be hard to expect him to go on a scoring spree. PSG held three shutouts in their previous five matches.

Achraf Hakimi - Wins five tackles in 5-1 romp Hakimi had one shot (off target), one chance created and six tackles (five won) in Sunday's 5-1 win over Lille.

Impact Hakimi was quiet going forward in his return from AFCON but after one assist on eight chances created and nine crosses over his last four matches before the tournament in Africa he would still offer offensive appeal moving forward. PSG held three shutouts in their previous five matches.

Marquinhos - Takes one shot in 5-1 rout Marquinhos had one shot (off target), one clearance and 73 passes completed in Sunday's 5-1 win over Lille.

Leandro Paredes - Assists in 5-1 romp Paredes tallied one assist, one shot (off target), a yellow card, two fouls drawn and three tackles (all won) in Sunday's 5-1 win over Lille.

Impact Paredes finally adds his first major contribution since November in a terrific display here. He's started in three of last four matches mounting three shots, four chances created and 12 tackles over that span but the return of Idrissa Gueye from AFCON and the improved form of Danilo will certainly eat up off his playing time moving forward.

Marco Verratti - Assists in drubbing win Verratti tallied one assist, one shot (off target), three dribbles, two fouls drawn and four tackles (three won) in Sunday's 5-1 win over Lille.

Impact Verratti has now suddenly found his offensive groove and has racked up two goals and one assist over his past two matches alone after having no major contributions all season long before that. He's also mounted four shots and six chances created in his last three matches and has offered a ton of fantasy value in all formats.

Danilo Pereira - Fires in brace in 5-1 romp Danilo scored twice on two shots and added two fouls drawn and 40 passes completed in Sunday's 5-1 win over Lille.

Impact Danilo has been on fire of late bagging a brace here to get to three goals in last two matches. He's now taken seven shots over his past three appearances alone after having a total of six all season long before that. While he's on a hot roll here, the holding midfielder could however get cold quickly at any point.

Kylian Mbappe - Scores in romp over Lille Mbappe scored on four shots (one on target) and hauled in two chances created and four fouls drawn in Sunday's 5-1 win over Lille.

Impact Mbappe continues to add terrific numbers to another brilliant campaign. He's now had at least one major contribution in three consecutive outings and in six of his last seven appearances mounting a total of six goals and three assists over that span. With 11 league goals he is just three behind the league-leader - Wissam Ben Yedder.

Ander Herrera - Misses squad through injury Herrera (thigh) was absent from the initial squad list for Sunday's clash with Lille.

Impact Herrera picked up a thigh injury in training and missed Sunday's traveling squad. The midfielder isn't a huge miss for the team as they have unmatched depth. That said Herrera has actually been a somewhat consistent starting option when healthy. Next up for PSG is a Friday clash against Rennes.

Angel Di Maria - Subs off with knock Di Maria was brought off the pitch holding his right calf/ankle during Sunday's 5-1 win over Lille.

Impact Di Maria came off holding his calf/ankle, but after the match manager Mauricio Pochettino said it was just a "leg knock." While that's reassuring his manager went on to mention that he was uncertain how much time Di Maria could miss. If Di Maria can make a full return to training he should be right back in the starting XI against Rennes on Friday.
