Achraf Hakimi - Joining Morocco Hakimi was named to the Cup of Nations squad for Morocco, the league announced Thursday.

Impact Hakimi was an unused substitute against Metz on Dec. 20 but has featured in 19 of his 20 appearances for PSG this season. Without Hakimi available, Nordi Mukiele could find himself back in the starting XI for the first time since Dec. 3 against Le Havre.

Lee Kang-in - Leaving for international duty Lee was called up by South Korea for the Asian Cup, the league announced Thursday.

Impact Lee has started six straight matches for PSG in which he garnered one assist, 35 crosses (nine accurate) and 22 corners. At a minimum, the midfielder should be expected to miss the next two contests but it could certainly be longer if South Korea makes it out of the group stage. Without Lee available, Ousmane Dembele figures to take a larger share of the corner-taking duties.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact For the first time this season, Donnarumma failed to make a single save but conceded a goal. Despite that, the Italy international has conceded the second-least goals (12) in the league campaign amongst goalkeepers who played at least 10 matches.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Presnel Kimpembe - Signs through 2026 Kimpembe (Achilles) extended his contract with PSG through 2026, the club announced.

Impact Kimpembe is currently sidelined with an Achilles issue but he is nearing a return and PSG are confident enough about his role going forward to hand him the extension. The defender will look to finish his recovery during the winter break and return potentially as soon as Jan. 14 trip to Lens, likely in a depth role.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ousmane Dembele - Picks up hamstring injury Dembele will miss Wednesday's clash with Metz due to a hamstring injury, PSG announced.

Impact Dembele won't be an option Wednesday due to a hamstring issue. This is perhaps the worst possible update for Dembele, who has done so well to avoid his seemingly endless injuries since joining PSG. He will hope this isn't the start of another vicious cycle, because Dembele is an endlessly talented option when on the pitch. Bradley Barcola can fill in on either wing with Dembele sidelined.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Presnel Kimpembe - Not ready Kimpembe (Achilles) isn't ready to return for Wednesday's clash with Metz.

Impact Kimpembe will finish the first half of the domestic season on the sideline with the Achilles injury. The defender will hope to make some sort of return after the winter break, potentially as soon as a Jan. 14 trip to Lens. It's unclear what Kimpembe's role will even look like when fit.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Keylor Navas - Won't return Navas (back) won't be an option before the winter break.

Impact Navas remains on the sideline as he continues to work back from an injury. Even when he is fit he won't be anything more than a goalkeeping coach in all reality, so this does little to change any part of the first team.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Ruiz - Remains out Ruiz (shoulder) will miss Wednesday's clash with Metz, PSG announced.

Impact Ruiz won't be back before the winter break due to the shoulder injury. The midfielder has seen some rotation into the starting XI but hasn't been an everyday starter. With Ruiz on the sideline Vitinha, Manuel Ugarte, and Warren Zaire-Emery should continue as a midfield three.

Champions League draw: USMNT stars set for showdown in Round of 16

Lee Kang-in - Productive in Sunday's draw Lee recorded seven crosses (two accurate) and seven corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Lille.

Impact Lee had another productive match Sunday as he recorded seven corners for the third time this season and seven crosses (two accurate) for the fifth time this season. However, he failed to take a single shot for the first time in Ligue 1 play this season, and his streak without a goal contribution reached seven matches after Sunday's draw.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ousmane Dembele - Eight crosses in draw Dembele registered two shots (zero on goal), eight crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Lille.

Impact Dembele put together a productive match in Sunday's draw as he recorded eight crosses (zero accurate), his sixth match this season (third in Ligue 1 play) with eight or more. He also created three chances in his 81 minutes, something he has done in more than half of his appearances this season.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kylian Mbappe - Scores penalty in Sunday's draw Mbappe scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Lille.

Impact Mbappe scored his 16th league goal of the season Sunday, a penalty in the 66th minute which marked PSG's only goal of the match. Mbappe took five shots in the match (one on target) and surprisingly failed to create a chance in the match for just the third time in 21 matches (including Champions League play). Next up he faces a more favorable matchup versus Metz Wednesday, a side which has conceded 24 goals in 16 league matches this season.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Available for selection Donnarumma is available for Wednesday's clash with Metz after serving a two-match ban.

Impact Donnarumma missed two matches in Ligue 1 action and is now eligible to return. The goalkeeper is ready to return to the starting XI, with Arnau Tenas set to fall back to the bench. Donnarumma is the first choice in all competitions and will be in net whenever available.
