Monaco vs PSG: both coaching staffs are moving forward with depleted squads and very limited flexibility. Long-term injuries, muscle warnings, and delayed returns are weighing on preparations. More than ten absences have already been confirmed, several regular starters remain under close monitoring, and the final decisions will depend on last-minute fitness tests.
On the Paris side, two midfield absences are confirmed: Fabian Ruiz and Senny Mayulu will not be in the squad. Quentin Ndjantou is also unavailable for several weeks following thigh surgery. However, Paris are slightly better off than their opponent tonight, with likely returns in the attacking department. João Neves, who picked up a shoulder knock, and Ousmane Dembélé, who went off with discomfort against Rennes, are both expected to be fit unless there is a last-minute setback.
PSG expected to rely on a near full-strength starting eleven
Monaco arrive in much worse shape. The treatment room is full, especially in defense. Salisu, Minamino, Pogba, Hradecky, Dier, Cabral, and Ouattara are all ruled out. Mawissa has not yet returned to group training. Akliouche (hip) and Lamine Camara (Achilles tendon) remain highly doubtful. The only positive note is Ansu Fati, who is back and played thirty minutes in the last match.

The trend for PSG points toward a starting eleven very close to the typical first-choice team, with a few midfield adjustments depending on player fitness. In a likely 4-3-3 setup: goalkeeper Safonov; defense Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; midfield João Neves, Vitinha, Zaïre-Emery or Lee; attack Dembélé, Kvara, Barcola or Doué. Paris regain options up front but must adapt in midfield, while Monaco are forced to improvise at the back. A tense clash with final lineup decisions made at the last moment.
