Warren Zaïre-Emery

Analysis: Zaire-Emery had already sat out Sunday's fixture against Brest with the same complaint, and the continued care required makes his absence from the midweek clash inevitable. Senny Mayulu is expected to continue covering at right-back with Achraf Hakimi (thigh) also unavailable, as PSG keep their most important players protected ahead of the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30.

Back issue rules him out

Zaire-Emery is dealing with lower back pain and will receive treatment over the coming days, ruling him out of Sunday's clash against Brest as a precaution, according to the club.

Analysis: Zaire-Emery had been set to start at right-back in place of the injured Achraf Hakimi (thigh), making his absence a headache for coach Luis Enrique who now needs to find another solution in that position against Brest. Senny Mayulu could get the nod at right-back in his place, with PSG managing their squad carefully ahead of the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30 rather than risking any of their key players in a low-stakes league fixture.
