Paris Saint-Germain will welcome back some of their South American contingent for Tuesday's Champions League battle with RB Leipzig.

Lionel Messi and Marquinhos were ;ate returns from international duty and missed the win over Angers on Friday but should return to the first XI here, although Neymar and Leandro Paredes are both carrying injuries.

Angel Di Maria must serve the final game of his European suspension, though, while Sergio Ramos remains out and Keylor Navas is still questionable.

Gianluigi Donnarumma will hold his place in goal with Navas doubtful, while Marquinhos should certainly displace Thilo Kehrer at the heart of defence.

Colin Dagba and Abdou Diallo are set to make way for Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes in the full-back areas, although Juan Bernat made his first appearance in over a year on Friday after recovering from his devastating ACL injury.

Danilo Pereira found the back of the net against Angers but may now make way for the returning Idrissa Gueye, while Marco Verratti and Ander Herrera should hold their places in midfield.

Rafinha and Mauro Icardi failed to grasp their opportunities in attack last time out and are set to make way for the returning Messi and Julian Draxler alongside Kylian Mbappe, whose 87th-minute penalty won the day for a depleted PSG against Angers.

PSG possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Mendes; Verratti, Gueye, Herrera; Messi, Mbappe, Draxler
