Sports Mole looks at how Paris Saint-Germain could line up in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Mauricio Pochettino is unlikely to start Neymar on Tuesday evening, when Real Madrid visit the French capital in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League contest.

Neymar has returned to full training following a serious ankle injury, but Pochettino is expected to resist the temptation to throw the Brazil international into the starting side for this match.

Sergio Ramos and Ander Herrera could both miss out due to calf and thigh injuries respectively, but Idrissa Gueye should be available to start after helping Senegal win the Africa Cup of Nations.

There will be changes to the side that started against Rennes in Ligue 1 on Friday, with Angel Di Maria potentially returning in attack, where Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi will also operate.

Georginio Wijnaldum, Nuno Mendes and Gianluigi Donnarumma all also expected to start on Tuesday evening, with the French outfit set to line up in their preferred 4-3-3 formation.

Wijnaldum and Gueye could replace Julian Draxler and Leandro Paredes in midfield, while Mendes is expected to get the nod at left-back for the match with Carlo Ancelotti's side.

Mauro Icardi is also pushing to be involved from the start, but Di Maria, as mentioned, is set to win the battle to feature alongside Messi and Mbappe, with Neymar on the bench.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Mendes; Verratti, Gueye, Wijnaldum; Messi, Mbappe, Di Maria
