PSG vs FC Barcelona lineups, team news and Neymar injury latest as Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe start

Neymar misses out on facing Barcelona for the first time since leaving the club as Paris Saint-Germain tonight look to finish the job in the Champions League last-16 stage.

The Brazilian left Barca four years ago this summer but was denied a reunion last month after suffering a groin injury ahead of the first leg.

He has only recently returned to full training and has not recovered in time to be involved in the second leg of their round-of-16 tie in Paris, so Kylian Mbappe will be the key man for PSG.

Angel Di Maria and right-back Alessandro Florenzi have also returned from injury - the former on the bench with the latter starting leaving just Moise Kean (coronavirus) and Juan Bernat (ACL) as absentees.

As for Barcelona, Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele lead an attack needing to score four goals to stand a chance of progress.

Elsewhere, Gerard Pique, Ansu Fati, Philippe Coutinho and Sergi Roberto are all out.

PSG vs Barcelona lineups

PSG: Navas, Florenzi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Kurzawa, Gueye, Paredes, Verratti, Draxler, Icardi, Mbappe

Subs: Kehrer, Di Maria, Rafinha, Danilo Pereira, Sergio Rico, Sarabia, Ander Herrera, Diallo, Bakker, Dagba, Pembele, Michut

Barcelona: ter Stegen, Dest, Mingueza, Lenglet, Jordi Alba, de Jong, Sergio Busquets, Gonzalez, Griezmann, Messi, Dembele
