Premier League, take note: PSG and Bayern Munich's flying forward lines are the future of football

Illia Zabarnyi - Suspended one game Zabarnyi will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in French competitions, according to the league.

Impact Zabarnyi picked up his fifth yellow card in French competitions and will serve a one-match suspension for Saturday's matchup against Lorient. The center-back has been a decent option to rest the starters between Champions League games, therefore his absence will force reshuffle in the starting back line, with Lucas Hernandez as an option to start if coach Luis Enrique wants to rest Marquinhos and Willian Pacho.

Vitinha - Trains Monday, set to start Tuesday Vitinha (heel) returned to full team training Monday and is on track to start Tuesday's Champions League semifinal against Bayern Munich, the club posted.

Impact Vitinha had been training on his own to manage the right heel inflammation that sidelined him for the last two matches, but his return to team training Monday is the strongest indication yet that he is good to go for PSG's biggest match of the season. The Portuguese midfielder is a key piece in coach Luis Enrique's engine room and his potential availability for Tuesday's showdown is a major lift, especially after Warren Zaire-Emery, Joao Neves and Lucas Beraldo filled in during his absence. If he gets the green light, expect him to jump right back into the starting XI without hesitation.

Ibrahim Mbaye - Makes solid impact off bench Mbaye registered two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 win over Angers.

Impact Mbaye came on in the second half in Saturday's 3-0 win over Angers, replacing Bradley Barcola with his side already 3-0 up and a man down following Goncalo Ramos' red card, and immediately injected pace and directness down the right flank during the final stages. Mbaye has contributed two assists across his 21 Ligue 1 appearances this season, with his energetic cameos off the bench consistently providing his side with a reliable attacking option in the final phases of games, even if his playing time has decreased somewhat in recent months following the return of the regular starters from injury.

Senny Mayulu - Scores one goal Mayulu scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 victory versus Angers.

Impact Mayulu played a key role in Saturday's 3-0 win over Angers, doubling the lead in the first half by collecting Lucas Beraldo's precise through ball and finishing calmly past Herve Koffi to make it 2-0 just before the break. The French midfielder operated as the right-sided midfielder in a rotated lineup and showed composure throughout his 72 minutes, combining technical precision with smart movement in behind the Angers defensive block. Mayulu has now scored four Ligue 1 goals this season across 22 appearances, consistently making the most of the minutes he is given to showcase his qualities.

Lee Kang-in - Scores goal, adds assist Lee scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and three chances created in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Angers.

Impact Lee played a key role in Saturday's 3-0 win over Angers, opening the scoring in the first half by dribbling past Herve Koffi and finishing into an empty net after Achraf Hakimi's initial effort had been saved, then providing the cross in the second half that Lucas Beraldo diverted in at the far post to make it 3-0, while adding three key passes and eight crosses. The South Korean has now registered four assists and three goals in Ligue 1 this season, with his side moving six points clear at the top of the table with four games remaining.

Matvey Safonov - One save in win Safonov made one save and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Angers.

Impact Safonov played the full 90 minutes in Saturday's 3-0 win over Angers, facing very limited goalkeeping work throughout but making his one meaningful contribution count when he came to claim a powerful cross in the second half to deny the hosts any hope of a consolation. Safonov has now kept five consecutive clean sheets in away fixtures across all competitions and will look to carry that momentum into Tuesday's Champions League first leg against Bayern Munich.

APRIL 26 • ROTOWIRE

Goncalo Ramos - Sent off against Angers Ramos was shown a red card during Saturday's 3-0 win over Angers.

Impact Ramos attempted three shots in a 74-minute outing before leaving due to a second yellow card. The striker will consequently serve suspension in the next league match against Lorient, though he could remain active in the UCL semifinals. In any case, a rested Ousmane Dembele is likely to fill the void in the starting lineup while the Portuguese is unavailable.

Nuno Mendes - Returns to bench Mendes (thigh) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Angers.

Impact Mendes has been included in the squad after being sidelined since suffering a thigh issue during the Champions League win over Liverpool, with the coaching staff set to ease him back via the bench in line with the initial expectation surrounding his return. The Portuguese full-back's availability could not come at a better time for PSG, who are gearing up for a packed run-in that includes Tuesday's Champions League semifinal against Bayern Munich, and some minutes off the bench against Angers should serve as the ideal tune-up ahead of that massive showdown. Lucas Hernandez is set to retain the left-back spot in the meantime as Mendes works his way back to full fitness.

Achraf Hakimi - Provides one assist in victory Hakimi assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Nantes.

Impact Hakimi contributed directly to Wednesday's 3-0 win over Nantes, surging forward from right-back in the first half to cleverly slip Desire Doue in behind the Nantes backline for the second goal, capping a dominant first-half performance in which his side had already led through Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's penalty. The Moroccan was replaced around the hour mark as coach Luis Enrique made three simultaneous changes to manage the squad ahead of upcoming fixtures, finishing with one assist and one shot attempt before his exit. Hakimi has now registered two Ligue 1 assists this season.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - Scores brace Kvaratskhelia scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Wednesday's 3-0 win versus Nantes.

Impact Kvaratskhelia was the standout performer in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Nantes, opening the scoring in the first half by calmly converting a penalty into the bottom-left corner, before adding a superb second in the second half after collecting Ousmane Dembele's pass at the edge of the area and dancing past two defenders before curling into the far corner. The Georgian finished with two goals on three shots on target. Kvaratskhelia has scored 15 goals and delivered nine assists across all competition this season.

Desire Doue - Scores one goal in win Doue scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 3-0 win against Nantes.

Impact Doue played a decisive role in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Nantes, doubling the lead in the first half by latching onto Achraf Hakimi's precise through pass and firing a sensational effort into the top-left corner for his sixth Ligue 1 goal of the season. The French winger finished the match with two key passes, three crosses and two tackles. Doue has now scored 11 goals and delivered four assists in 30 appearances across all competitions this season, with his partnership alongside Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele proving too much for a Nantes side sitting 17th in the table.

Ousmane Dembele - Delivers one assist Dembele assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Nantes.

Impact Dembele played a key creative role in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Nantes, delivering the assist in the second half that set up Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's second goal, collecting the ball at the edge of the area and threading a precise pass that the Georgian finished with a clinical curled effort. The French forward added three key passes and five crosses. Dembele has recorded 20 goals and six assists in Ligue 1 this season.

Matvey Safonov - Secures clean sheet Safonov made four saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 3-0 victory versus Nantes.

Impact Safonov made four saves to secure the clean sheet in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Nantes. The goalkeeper continues his strong run of form, recording 23 saves while conceding just three goals and keeping five clean sheets across his last seven appearances in all competitions. He will look to maintain that momentum against Angers on Saturday ahead of a Champions League clash with Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

Nuno Mendes - Back fit for Angers clash Mendes recovered from his thigh issue and is available for Saturday's clash against Angers, the club announced.

Impact Mendes has been out since suffering a thigh issue during the Champions League win over Liverpool, with Lucas Hernandez stepping in at left-back while he was sidelined. His return couldn't come at a better time for PSG as they gear up for a packed run-in, especially with Tuesday's Champions League semifinal against Bayern Munich looming large. The Portuguese full-back is unlikely to be thrown straight into the starting XI, but getting some minutes against Angers should be the ideal tune-up ahead of that massive showdown.

Impact Vitinha won't be risked for the Angers fixture with the Bayern clash firmly in mind, and the positive update on his heel suggests he is on track to be available for the biggest game of PSG's season. The Portuguese midfielder is one of coach Luis Enrique's most important players in the engine room and getting him fit for the Allianz Arena showdown is the club's absolute priority, with Warren Zaire-Emery, Joao Neves and Lucas Beraldo having covered in midfield during his absence.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - Scores one goal off bench Kvaratskhelia scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Lyon.

Impact Kvaratskhelia came on as a substitute in the second half of Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Lyon at Parc des Princes, immediately injecting danger down the left flank by forcing Dominik Greif into a save with an angled attempt before curling a stunning long-range strike in off the far post in stoppage time, assisted by Fabian Ruiz. The Georgian has now scored five goals and delivered four assists in 24 Ligue 1 appearances this season.
