PSG vs Real Madrid live score updates: Champions League latest, team news, TV channel and start time Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Paris Saint-Germain against Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16. This tie is arguably the...
Idrissa Gueye - On bench Tuesday Gueye (rest) was named to the match-day squad versus Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Impact Gueye last played for PSG on Dec. 22, missing the last five matches while on international duty with Senegal. Barring any setbacks, Gueye should be a near-lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI but figures to be a mid-range fantasy option at best given his limited offensive upside.

Ander Herrera - Named to match-day squad Herrera (thigh) will be on the bench against Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Impact Herrera missed the team's previous two clashes while dealing with his thigh problem. While the midfielder has started three of his previous four appearances, he has made just five starts in the club's last 15 matches, so he's far from a lock for the starting XI even with his thigh problem behind him.

Abdou Diallo - Available as susbtitute Diallo (rest) will be a bench option heading into Tuesday's UCL clash with Real Madrid.
Impact Diallo will be back in the squad following a five-game absence due to his participation in AFCON. Even once back up to 100 percent, the defender figures to serve primarily as a substitute and will be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI with any sort of consistency.

Neymar - On bench Tuesday Neymar (ankle) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Real Madrid.
Impact Neymar is back, but he's not healthy enough to start after missing the last few months with an ankle injury. He's likely lacking some fitness, hence his appearance on the bench, but even if he only goes 20 minutes, he's always in play to make something happen if PSG need him to late.

Time for Messi to step up for PSG against Real Madrid
Lionel Messi is adapting slowly to life with Paris Saint-Germain since joining last summer from BarcelonaFEBRUARY 14, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Neymar - Removed from injury report Neymar (ankle) was absent from Monday's medical report, as he's been pictured in training, and is expected to be available Tuesday against Real Madrid.
Impact Neymar is absent from the medical report Monday and the consensus is that he is meant to be fully ready to play Tuesday. Neymar is an elite offensive option and will be alongside Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in what is arguably the best attack in Europe. It's uncertain if Neymar will be able to go the full 90 on his return from the ankle injury.
FEBRUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sergio Ramos - Still battling calf injury Ramos will remain out for the next week while undergoing treatment for his calf injury.
Impact Ramos has been out since the international break and will remain out with another muscle injury. He can't seem to stay healthy for an extended period and PSG will likely have to deal with that for the rest of the season. Ramos has managed just two starts and four appearances.

Marco Verratti - Sends three crosses versus Rennes Verratti had three crosses (one accurate), two dribbles, two fouls drawn, two corners, two tackles (one won), three blocked shots and a yellow card in Friday's 1-0 win over Rennes...
Impact Verratti remains active offensively and continues to offer decent numbers in different categories. The midfielder has now racked up two goals and one assist over his past three matches while adding three shots, three crosses and four chances created.

Marquinhos - Keeps clean sheet versus Rennes Marquinhos had a clean sheet, one shot (off target), two blocked shots and two clearances in Friday's 1-0 win over Rennes.
Impact Marquinhos and the Parisians back line held third clean sheet in last four matches and fifth in last 10 and seem to be hitting their stride in the nick of time for the clash with Real Madrid. The center-back though hasn't been all that productive in peripheral numbers.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Juan Bernat - Creates two chances in shutout win Bernat had a clean sheet, two chances created, two crosses (none accurate) and two dribbles in Friday's 1-0 win over Rennes.
Impact Bernat and the Parisians back line held third clean sheet in last four matches and fifth in last 10 and seem to be hitting their stride in the nick of time for the clash with Real Madrid. That was the full-back's first start since mid-December however and Nuno Mendes will likely get the nod versus Real next week.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Presnel Kimpembe - Holds clean sheet for victory Kimpembe had a clean sheet, four aerials won and two fouls drawn in Friday's 1-0 win over Rennes.
Impact Kimpembe and the Parisians back line held third clean sheet in last four matches and fifth in last 10 and seem to be hitting their stride in the nick of time for the clash with Real Madrid. The center-back also scored his first goal of the season the last time out but that was his only shot on goal since October, so a run of offensive numbers shouldn't be expected.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Achraf Hakimi - Sends two crosses in shutout win Hakimi had a clean sheet, two crosses (none accurate), two aerials won and two interceptions in Friday's 1-0 win over Rennes.
Impact Hakimi and the Parisians back line held third clean sheet in last four matches and fifth in last 10 and seem to be hitting their stride in the nick of time for the clash with Real Madrid. The full-back has also seen an increase of his offensive role again of late which has led immediately to one assist on seven chances created and nine crosses over his past three starts and could be a real fantasy weapon.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lionel Messi - Assists winner over Rennes Messi tallied one assist, two shots (off target), four chances created, three crosses (one accurate) and four dribbles in Friday's 1-0 win over Rennes.
Impact Messi continues with his excellent run of form and recorded his third straight match with a major contribution while mounting one goal and three assists over that period. The playmaker seems to be hitting his stride in the nick of time for the big clash with Real.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kylian Mbappe - Bags late winner over Rennes Mbappe scored on five shots (one on target) and hauled in two chances created, four dribbles and a yellow card on four fouls committed in Friday's 1-0 win over Rennes.
Impact Mbappe delivered another clinical performance here. He scored first fairly early in the second half only to see his goal disallowed but was clinical with his stoppage-time winner over Rennes. He's now mounted seven goals and three assists over his past eight appearances.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Georginio Wijnaldum - Returns off bench versus Rennes Wijnaldum played 24 minutes off the bench in Friday's 1-0 win over Rennes.
Impact Wijnaldum made his return after a two-match absence . He's been fairly productive of late after mounting three goals and two assists over his previous nine appearances across all competitions.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Angel Di Maria - Returns off bench in win Di Maria played 24 minutes off the bench in Friday's 1-0 win over Rennes.
Impact Di Maria wasn't apparently healthy enough for a start here but he was likely preserved mostly for the next week's UCL clash with Real and should be full go for that outing. The winger has been productive in peripheral stats but has merely tallied one assist with no goals over his past eight matches.2
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Keylor Navas - Keeps clean sheet versus Rennes Navas made one save en route to a clean sheet in Friday's 1-0 win over Rennes.
Impact Navas has now held clean sheets in back to back starts while mounting four saves in that span. He's been very productive of late with 17 saves over his past five matches.
