PSG approaches this match with minimal squad issues. Only two players from Luis Enrique's team will miss today's game due to injuries: Presnel Kimpembe and Nordi Mukiele.

The most significant absence for the Parisian club is Ashraf Hakimi. PSG's primary right-back is unavailable due to accumulation of yellow cards.

It's crucial for PSG that central midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery has fully recovered and returned to the squad. However, due to Mukiele and Hakimi's absence, the 18-year-old central midfielder is expected to play as a right-back, a position unfamiliar to him.

Barcelona's infirmary is gradually emptying. Currently, the only confirmed absences are left-back Alejandro Balde and central midfielder Gavi. However, their return is only expected in the next season.

Regarding Frenkie de Jong and Pedri, both central midfielders have recovered and are ready to play. However, according to Catalan media reports, only de Jong will start in the lineup, while Pedri will be available as a substitute.

Possible PSG line-up

• Donnarumma; Zaïre-Emery, Marquinhos, Hernández, Nuno Mendes; Vitinha, Ugarte, Fabián Ruiz; Dembélé, Mbappé, Barcola

Possible Barcelona line-up

• Ter Stegen; Koundé, Ronald Araújo, Cubarsí, João Cancelo; De Jong, Christensen, Gündoğan; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha

The match kicks off at 21:00 Central European Time.
