Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Paris Saint-Germain could line up for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Club Brugge.

Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino will be expected to shuffle the pack for Tuesday's inconsequential Champions League clash with Club Brugge.

Les Parisiens - who are guaranteed to finish second in Group A - are without Neymar and Julian Draxler once more, while Sergio Ramos is also absent, but Presnel Kimpembe, Colin Dagba and Ander Herrera are all in the squad.

Keylor Navas made a string of fine saves against Lens before letting Seko Fofana's long-range effort seep through his gloves, and the Costa Rican will likely make way for Gianluigi Donnarumma this week.

Nuno Mendes can feel hopeful of earning a start at left-back, while Abdou Diallo is a candidate to join Marquinhos in the backline and Achraf Hakimi should hold his place after joining Pochettino for the pre-game press conference.

The injury-prone Marco Verratti will surely be given a rest in this fixture with nothing on the line, so Herrera could earn a start alongside Idrissa Gueye and Georginio Wijnaldum.

Lionel Messi could also find himself on the bench ahead of a crucial Ligue 1 encounter with Monaco, which opens up a spot for Kylian Mbappe to return to the first XI alongside Angel Di Maria and Mauro Icardi.

PSG possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Diallo, Mendes; Rafinha, Gueye, Wijnaldum; Di Maria, Icardi, Mbappe
