PARIS SG NEWS

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Concedes three goals Donnarumma logged five saves but conceded three goals in Friday's 3-2 defeat against Nice.

Impact Terem Moffi (two) and Gaetan Laborde (one) scored three goals as Donnarumma recorded his worst game log of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 so far. He will try to redeem himself during Paris Saint-Germain's next matchup, currently scheduled Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

Kylian Mbappe - Starting against Nice Mbappe (knee) is in the starting XI for Friday's clash with Nice.

Impact Mbappe is back in the starting XI after picking up a knock with the French international team during the break. The forward's injury was a huge concern for the club, with a player of his stature being irreplaceable, but they will be happy to have his prowess back on the pitch. He should return to his normal starting spot now that he is back healthy.

Nordi Mukiele - Still unfit Mukiele (hamstring) remains out of the squad for Friday's match against Nice.

Impact Mukiele will miss the Nice match after being deemed not fit enough to return. He underwent hamstring surgery last season and remains sidelined due to the injury. He will hope to avoid another season full of injuries by returning to the pitch soon. He could be fit for Tuesday's match against Dortmund, but even if he is, he will most likely only be used as a substitute.

Lee Kang-in - Will miss Nice match Lee will not be an option for Friday's match against Nice after being left out of the squad list.

Impact Lee will miss yet another match, being left out of the team sheet for the third straight match. He picked this injury up before the international break and was expected to be back to full health by the end of the break but instead, will still need time to recover. There is a decent chance the defender could be back for PSG's Champions League group-stage match against Dortmund.

Kylian Mbappe - Makes squad list Mbappe is on the squad list for Friday's match against Nice.

Impact Mbappe will be an option for Friday's match after making the team sheet. He picked up a knee injury while on international duty with France, but it seems to be not very serious with him making the squad on Friday. Though he made the team sheet, there is still a chance PSG won't want to rush the forward back into play with a whole cluster of matches coming up, and we will end up not starting. If that is the case, then expect Goncalo Ramos to start Friday.

Presnel Kimpembe - Not training with squad Kimpembe (Achilles) has yet to resume training with the squad and is "continuing his treatment protocol," per the team's release Thursday.

Impact At this point, Kimpembe looks no closer to getting back onto the pitch and should probably be considered out indefinitely still due to his long-term injury. Even once the defender is cleared to play, he figures to be hard-pressed to secure regular first-team minutes, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Nuno Mendes - Remains limited in training Mendes (hamstring) won't be available against Nice on Friday as he has yet to resume full training. Per the club's release, the defender "continues his gradual recovery with the sq...

Impact Mendes has yet to get onto the pitch this season and should probably still be considered out indefinitely at this point. Considering he started five of his six Champions League appearances for the club last season, Mendes should be in contention to claim a spot in the starting XI once given the all-clear.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Ruiz - Out with thigh problem Ruiz will not be an option against Nice on Friday after suffering a thigh injury and will be limited to individual work.

Impact Ruiz has started just once to open the season but has played in all four matches for PSG, registering one assist, two shots (one on target) and five crosses (two accurate) in 96 combined minutes. With the Champions League Group Stage staring up against Dortmund on Tuesday, Ruiz could have been an option to start Friday in order to rotate the squad. Still, the team's release doesn't officially rule him out Tuesday, though he should probably be considered a doubt.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Asensio - Won't play in September Asensio, who is dealing with a foot injury, will not be back at training until October, ruling him out for at least the club's next four matches.

Impact It's disappointing news for Asensio who had started the season strong with two goals on six shots (three on target), one assist and four crosses (one accurate) in three appearances. The forward will be sidelined for at least the first UCL Group Stage clash with Dortmund and probably should be considered a doubt to face Newcastle United on Pct. 4 as well due to his recovery timeline. A healthy Randal Kolo Muani figures to replace Asensio heading into Friday's matchup with Nice and possibly beyond.

Kylian Mbappe - Resumes training Thursday Mbappe (knee) will join Thursday's training session ahead of a matchup with Nice on Friday.

Impact Mbappe came back from the international break with a knee injury but appears to be at least fit enough to train ahead of Saturday's clash. Barring any setbacks, it seems the forward should still be in contention for a spot in the starting XI, where he figures to offer elite-level fantasy production having scored five times in three matches to open the season.

Impact Mbappe won't have a lot of time to recover with Paris Saint-Germain in action against Nice on Friday then back at it for Tuesday's UCL Group Stage opener against Dortmund. In his three appearances (two starts) for PSG this season, the world-class forward has racked up five goals on 15 shots (three on target). If Mbappe is unable to play Friday, Goncalo Ramos could find himself back in the starting XI.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Randal Kolo Muani - Active for France Kolo Muani (ankle) got the start during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Germany.

Impact Kolo Muani returned from a very minor ankle issue and played 64 minutes. The striker didn't get too much done while on the pitch but still he looked fit and should be good to go when back with PSG. If Kolo Muani can establish the starting role he will have immense value alongside countrymen Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ousmane Dembele - Features in last two matches Dembele has started each of PSG's last two matches, recording five shots (zero on target), seven crosses (three accurate) and six corners.

Impact With Kang-In Lee (quadriceps) sidelined, Dembele has found himself pressed into service in the starting XI, including taking over the role of primary corner taker from Lee. With Randal Kolo Muani (ankle) set to debut coming out of the international break, Dembele could struggle to maintain his place in the starting XI.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Milan Skriniar - Starts first four matches Skriniar has started all four matches to open the Ligue 1 campaign, recording nine clearances, six tackles (four won) and two shots (one on target).

Impact Skriniar joined the French club during the offseason, making the move from Inter Milan after five seasons with the Italian side. At this point, there is not reason to expect the central defender to be dropped from the starting XI even with the Champions League Group Stage adding to the fixture schedule.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Vitinha - Still looking for first goal Vitinha has yet to score this season despite nine shots (three on target) through the opening four matches.

Impact Vitinha has been a fixture in the starting XI this season and figures to continue featuring for the club. Last season, the midfielder scored just twice in 36 contests (29 starts), so fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him producing with any sort of consistency.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Marquinhos - Starts three straight Marquinhos has started each of the last three matches for the club, recording eight clearances, four blocks and two interceptions.

Impact In 33 Ligue 1 matches last year, Marquinhos registered two goals on 18 shots (four on target), so his offensive upside is somewhat limited despite him staking a claim to the starting job. Still, the central defender should compile plenty of clearances and defensive stats, providing value in formats that value those categories.

Marco Asensio - Leaves Spain injured Asensio announced that he had to withdraw from the Spanish national team following a leg injury suffered during Friday's 7-1 win over Georgia during the 2024 European Qualifiers,

Impact Asensio is set to return to Paris early following test that reveal an injury that requires immediate treatment. This will leave him in heavy doubt for Friday's match against Nice. If Randal Kolo Muani is deemed fit, he will be the expected player to start in the attack is Asensio needs to sit out.

Bradley Barcola - Comes off bench versus former club Barcola recorded two shots (zero on target) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-1 win over Lyon.

Impact Barcola faced his former club just days after agreeing to leave the team for PSG. He will have to compete with Manuel Ugarte abd Warren Zaire-Emery for a starting spot on the team.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Manuel Ugarte - Gets assist Ugarte assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 4-1 win over Lyon.

Impact Ugarte logged in his first assist for the team since joining from Sporting CP in July. He's totaled 14 tackles with three interceptions in the last four matches, all of them coming as starts.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Achraf Hakimi - Nets goal Hakimi scored one goal to go with two shots (one on target) and two chances created in Sunday's 4-1 victory against Lyon.

Impact Hakimi got his first goal of the season in his fourth start in a row. He's been taking his opportunity in front of the net even from right back, totaling 10 shots (two on target) while also logging in seven clearances and seven interceptions.
