- Three regular starters ruled out with minor knocks but available for the final

- Lucas Hernandez and Senny Mayulu set to deputise in defence
- Young forwards Goncalo Ramos and Ibrahim Mbaye tipped to start
Paris Saint-Germain will make several changes to their starting side when they host Stade Brestois on Sunday night. The French giants reached the Champions League final in midweek. Now they face domestic duties before their big match against Arsenal.
Three important players will miss the clash at Parc des Princes. Nuno Mendes, Willian Pacho and Warren Zaïre-Emery are all unavailable. They have small injuries but should be fit for the European final later this month.
Lucas Hernandez will replace Mendes in the defence. The centre of the back line will see Lucas Beraldo play alongside Illia Zabarnyi. Senny Mayulu is set to play at right-back because Achraf Hakimi is also out.
The manager wants to rest his key men. Goncalo Ramos and Ibrahim Mbaye are likely to start in attack. This gives them a chance to play whilst the regular starters recover.
The expected team includes Matvey Safonov in goal. The defence will be Hernandez, Beraldo, Zabarnyi and Mayulu. Fabián Ruiz, Vitinha and Lee Kang-in should play in midfield. Bradley Barcola will support Ramos and Mbaye in the forward areas.
