The big injury news ahead of the game revolves around Mbappe. There had been concerns that he may miss the game after he suffered a foot injury in training.

But Mbappe is expected to recover in time.

Sergio Ramos will not play against his former team due to a calf injury, while Layvin Kurzawa is also out.

Apart from that, Mauricio Pochettino virtually has a full-strength squad to chose from.

Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mbappe will lead the line in a mouthwatering attacking trio.

PSG probable XI (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Mendes; Danilo, Verratti, Gueye; Messi, Mbappe, Neymar.

As for Madrid, they will be well below full-strength.

Ferland Mendy and Casemiro are both suspended after picking up yellow cards in the first leg.

Toni Kroos missed the weekend win over Real Sociedad with a hamstring problem but coach Carlo Ancelotti could take a gamble and play him ahead of Eduardo Camavinga.

Marcelo won’t be trusted in Mendy’s place, meaning David Alaba will likely switch to left back and Nacho partnering Eder Militao at centre back.

Federico Valverde should replace Casemiro, despite the Uruguayan just recovering from flu.

In attack, Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr pick themselves but Marco Asensio should join them in a three-man strikeforce.
