RB Leipzig Team News
Prior to this match, Leipzig were boosted by the timely return of creative hub Dani Olmo, although he only came in for the final few minutes against Frankfurt and is unlikely to start.
Lukas Klostermann and Marcel Halstenberg are both expected to be unavailable for PSG’s visit, while Brian Brobbey and Marcelo Saracchi are also expected to be away.
Dominik Szoboszlai and Forsberg are slated to compete for the final slot in the forward trio, with Olmo only expecting to make the bench while Nkunku keeps his berth.

This week, Pochettino will be without Leandro Paredes, Marco Verratti, and Sergio Ramos, but Kylian Mbappe is expected to return from an ear infection in time to lead the line.
Achraf Hakimi was suspended for Lille’s triumph, but is expected to replace Thilo Kehrer today, while Juan Bernat made his first start in almost a year on Friday, though Nuno Mendes is expected to return for midweek.
