Neymar - Starting against Nantes Neymar (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Nantes.

Impact Neymar is surprisingly starting despite reports stated that he was out for Saturday's match. It's an odd situation and one that could mean he's probably not ready for a full 90. That said, he still has tons of upside as seen in the brace scored prior to the break.

Marco Verratti - Back in starting XI Verratti (hip) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Nantes.

Impact Verratti recovered over the break and makes an immediate start Saturday after missing the prior three matches with a hip issue. When healthy he's started this season, so that's expected to be the case, as long as he can keep that health with a busy schedule ahead.

Leandro Paredes - Plays 45 minutes for Argentina Paredes (quad) played 45 minutes for Argentina in Tuesday's scoreless draw to Brazil.

Impact Paredes missed six matches on domestic level before his international appearance. He's only logged in two starts all season thus far and PSG will likely have a cautious approach with him and ease him off the bench which will keep his fantasy upside fairly low.

Lionel Messi - Plays full 90 for Argentina Messi (knee, hamstring) played the full 90 minutes for Argentina in Tuesday's scoreless draw to Brazil.

Impact Messi is back in the fold after missing two matches on domestic level. His issue was never considered serious and after a full 90 Tuesday he should be poised to start again here especially with Neymar out. The maestro though hasn't been at his usual best this season scoring in just one of his last four PSG matches while merely taking five shots on target over that span.

Abdou Diallo - Clears COVID-19 protocols Diallo (COVID-19) wasn't included in the injury report and should be available for Saturday's match versus Nantes.

Impact Diallo had more than a fortnight to handle the virus and his absence from the report is a solid confirmation for that. That being said though, he's far from guaranteed to start with plenty of competition at left-back and center-back.

NOVEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Keylor Navas - Set to start Saturday Navas (elbow) wasn't included in the injury report and should be ready to start in Saturday's match versus Nantes.

Impact Navas had a full week to recover from a minor issue and given Gigi Donnarumma is out the former should be set to start even if not at 100% yet. Navas has 12 saves and two clean sheets with four goals allowed over his past four matches.

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Ruled out for Nantes match Donnarumma didn't train with the squad Friday due to symptoms of gastroenteritis and is ruled out for Saturday's match versus Nantes, according to PSG's medical report.

Impact Donnarumma will train at Ooredoo tomorrow in order to make a gradual return to action and could still be in play to return for the big clash with City next week. His absence here likely means a start for Keylor Navas even if he's not fully fit after international duty.

NOVEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sergio Ramos - May be set for PSG debut Ramos (calf) has trained well this week and could be available for Saturday's match versus Nantes, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Ramos may finally be ready for his PSG debut but there's still the final practice to confirm his status. Even if he makes the group though he'll need a bit more time before bidding for a starting role.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Neymar - Ruled out for Nantes match Neymar (thigh) has suffered a small lesion and is ruled out for Saturday's match versus Nantes, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Neymar is also already very uncertain for the midweek clash with City. He's had two goals and one assist over his past three outings and was finally getting back to his elite form but this issue here could slow that down a bit now. Leo Messi is also uncertain which could see Angel Di Maria and Ander Herrera with starts.

Presnel Kimpembe - Present at training Kimpembe (thigh) was present at training, but didn't participate in team drills, according to Loic Tanzi of RMC.

Impact Kimpembe was present at training but didn't participate in the session. The defender has been out with a thigh injury that held him out of international duty. He will hope to return Saturday against Nantes, but due to his lack of participation he is firmly doubtful for that match. Thilo Kehrer would pick up more playing time with Kimpembe out.

Marco Verratti - Returns to training Verratti (hip) returned to training Wednesday, according to Loic Tanzi of RMC.

Impact Verratti returned to training with the team, and is looking to perhaps beat the month timeline that was expected with his hip injury. The midfielder could return as soon as Saturday, against Nantes.

Keylor Navas - Out over international break Navas will not play with Costa Rica over the break because of an elbow issue suffered in PSG's most recent match.

Impact There hasn't been a ton of information regarding Navas over the break, but he still has more than a week to recover. PSG should release some info in the next week and even if he's not ready to start, Gianluigi Donnarumma is now full go and receiving the majority of starts in net.

Julian Draxler - Injures thigh over break Draxler suffered a severe thigh injury over the break and will be out up to six weeks, reports Florian Plettenberg of SPORT1.

Impact Draxler started PSG's last league match, but it was just his second league start since September. He's mostly a backup when everyone else on PSG is healthy, but his absence definitely hurts the depth of the squad. It's likely he'll be out until January with the last game this year being Dec. 22.
