Paris Saint-Germain will be without Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola as they gear up to face RC Strasbourg Alsace on Friday evening.

Barcola's absence comes as a result of suspension following his red card in last weekend's 2-2 draw against Stade Brestois. Meanwhile, Dembélé will sit out as a precautionary measure due to a minor thigh issue. Although not a serious concern, with the UEFA Champions League clash against Real Sociedad looming, PSG is opting to err on the side of caution regarding his fitness.

The squad continues to be without long-term absentees Presnel Kimpembe and Milan Skriniar, with the latter potentially sidelined until the end of the transfer window. Achraf Hakimi has been granted time off following Morocco's AFCON exit and will not be available for the Strasbourg fixture. Additionally, while Nuno Mendes is nearing his return, he remains unavailable for the upcoming match at the Meinau.

Projected PSG Starting XI vs. Strasbourg: Gianluigi Donnarumma; Lucas Hernandez, Danilo Pereira, Marquinhos, Carlos Soler; Fabián Ruiz, Manuel Ugarte, Warren Zaïre-Emery; Marco Asensio, Kylian Mbappé, Randal Kolo Muani. (L’Équipe)
