PSG PREDICTED XI V BORUSSIA DORTMUND: BRADLEY BARCOLA TO START, NUNO MENDES TO RETURN

Paris Saint-Germain don’t have any fresh injury concerns as they prepare to face Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final.

There had been a degree of concern regarding Nuno Mendes, who after playing in the 4-1 victory over FC Lorient in midweek, was rested as a precaution against Le Havre AC on Saturday. The Portuguese full-back has been closely watched in recent days, however, he was involved in training as normal on Monday, two days before the Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund. It is expected that he will start.

Elsewhere, Luis Enrique isn’t expected to spring any surprises and players such as Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Fabián Ruiz and Gianluigi Donnarumma, all of whom have been rested in PSG’s recent Ligue 1 games, will return to the starting lineup.
