PSG injury list in full including Kylian Mbappe update ahead of Man City semi-final

Manchester City resume their quest for Champions League success on Wednesday night as they face Paris Saint-Germain.

Pep Guardiola's side travel to the Parc des Princes for the first leg of their semi-final tie after winning the Carabao Cup on Sunday against Tottenham.

After securing their first trophy of the season, City go in search of reaching a first Champions League final, and are hopeful of a positive first-leg result.

Whilst City boast a near full-strength squad, their French hosts have several injury concerns ahead of Wednesday night's clash.

Here's a round-up of all PSG's woes, including the latest on Kylian Mbappe.

Kylian Mbappe

The French forward limped off in the 87th minute of PSG's 3-1 win over Metz on Saturday, sparking fears he could miss the City games.

Those fears have been eased, as the injury is not thought to be too serious.

“We think he’s okay and that he’ll be ready for Wednesday," Pochettino told Canal after the game.

“We reviewed the action, we see the blow. We are not worried about him."

“We hope it’s not too serious,” Pochettino said, in another post-match interview.

“Kylian was calm when he was replaced but even a simple knock is always painful.”

Marquinhos

The Brazilian defender hasn't featured for PSG since picking up a groin injury during PSG's first-leg quarter-final win over Bayern Munich on April 7.

Marquinhos wasn't involved at the weekend but returned to full training in preparation for the match against City.

Abou Diallo

Diallo hasn't featured since April 13 after picking up a calf problem in the second-leg win over Bayern and he's missed PSG's last two Ligue 1 matches.

There is optimism he will be available for Wednesday night, though.

Rafinha

Rafinha has sat out PSG's last two games with back problems but Pochettino has confirmed that the Brazilian is also back in training and is in contention to return, albeit probably as a substitute.

Juan Bernat

PSG's first-choice left-back has been ruled out since September after rupturing his ACL and remains out of contention as he continues his rehabilitation.
