Sidelined two months Paredes (groin) will be out for two months due to a groin injury, according to PSG.
Impact Paredes has been struggling with a groin injury for weeks and eventually decided to go forward with a surgery. The midfielder will now miss two months, and will likely be out for the remainder of the season. Paredes made 15 appearances (10 starts) scoring once and adding two assists.

Exits early with injury Paredes limped off the pitch and was replaced in the 41st minute of Sunday's match versus Lorient with a suspected groin injury.
Impact Paredes didn't seem to be in a whole lot of pain but was holding his groin on the way out and was walking slowly and in a discomfort. Given how tricky groin injuries could be he won't be guaranteed to return right away. If he's forced to miss more time Georginio Wijnaldum could start in his place next week.

Available against Real Madrid Paredes (groin) is in the squad list for Wednesday's match against Real Madrid.
Impact Paredes looks to be healthy again, but he's been out for three weeks with the injury and probably won't be asked to enter the XI in his first match back. He went the full 90 in the first leg prior to injury and if he doesn't start, Idrissa Gueye may be called upon in a huge spot.

Ruled out Saturday Paredes is dealing with a groin discomfort and will miss Saturday's match versus Nantes.
Impact Paredes already missed time last week with the same issue and given the heavy schedule of late and his regular time on the pitch he'll be given a well deserved break versus the Canaries. It seems like it's more of a precaution and rest so he should be back next week. In his absence Idrissa Gueye could get his first start since returning from AFCON.

Starting against Rennes Paredes (adductor) is in the starting XI for Friday's match against Rennes.
Impact Paredes gets the call Friday despite dealing with a reported adductor injury this week. It's hard to see him going a full 90, but either way, he doesn't get forward much for PSG, totaling just one shot on target in 555 league minutes this season. While he has two assists, that's from just five chances created.

Dealing with adductor injury Paredes picked up an adductor injury and is set to miss Friday's clash with Rennes, according to L' Equipe.
Impact Paredes will likely be sidelined for the first leg of the Champions League tie with Real Madrid, though it's possible he is fit for that match. The midfielder is mostly a depth option for the ridiculously talented Parisian side. The return of Idrissa Gueye in particular helps smooth the absence of Paredes.

Assists in 5-1 romp Paredes tallied one assist, one shot (off target), a yellow card, two fouls drawn and three tackles (all won) in Sunday's 5-1 win over Lille.
Impact Paredes finally adds his first major contribution since November in a terrific display here. He's started in three of last four matches mounting three shots, four chances created and 12 tackles over that span but the return of Idrissa Gueye from AFCON and the improved form of Danilo will certainly eat up off his playing time moving forward.

Starting against Lyon Paredes (not injury related) is in PSG's starting lineup for Sunday's clash against Lyon.
Impact Paredes missed PSG's final game of 2021 while isolating with a close contact to COVID-19, but he's back in the lineup in midfield from the start on Sunday.

Placed in isolation Wednesday Paredes has been placed in isolation and will miss Wednesday's match versus Lorient, L'Equipe reports.
Impact Paredes' test came back negative but he has been in close contact with a player who tested positive and has been placed under isolation for the time being as a precaution. His absence could open up a starting spot for Ander Herrera in the middle of the park.

On bench against Nice Paredes (stomach) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Nice.
Impact Paredes is on the bench Wednesday after missing training earlier in the week, so that's at least a good sign. He was rested over the weekend after back-to-back starts and if all is well he could return to the XI for Saturday's trip to Lens.

Dealing with gastroenteritis Paredes (illness) missed training due to symptoms of gastroenteritis, according to PSG.
Impact Paredes will have his status updated before game time tomorrow, but he is firmly questionable for the match at the moment. If he is unable to play then Idrissa Gueye will likely start once more.

Assists in return from injury Paredes tallied one assist, one shot (off target) and team-high 105 passes completed in Saturday's 3-1 win over Nantes.
Impact Paredes was busy here and was on the ball a lot highlighting his night with first major contribution of the season. That was finally his first appearance since September but only third start of the season and with plenty of competition in midfield he has a good chance of returning to the bench midweek versus City.

Plays 45 minutes for Argentina Paredes (quad) played 45 minutes for Argentina in Tuesday's scoreless draw to Brazil.
Impact Paredes missed six matches on domestic level before his international appearance. He's only logged in two starts all season thus far and PSG will likely have a cautious approach with him and ease him off the bench which will keep his fantasy upside fairly low.
