However, Francisco Sierralta and Nathan Buayi-Kiala will miss the match.
PSG Team Updates
Achraf Hakimi may be back for PSG after competing in the Africa Cup of Nations, where he led Morocco to a runners-up finish.

Additionally, Lee Kang-in has returned to training, but goalkeeper Matvey Safonov is out for the match.
Current Form
Auxerre
Auxerre is currently fighting to avoid relegation, sitting 17th in the league and two points away from safety. A win tonight could lift them out of the relegation zone, although they have lost their last four matches in all competitions. They showed some promise in their previous game against league leaders Lens, losing narrowly.
PSG
PSG is positioned second in the league, just one point behind Lens. Coach Luis Enrique is looking for a strong response following a defeat to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League this week.
This loss continued an inconsistent streak for PSG, who have lost two of their last three matches, including an exit from the French Cup against Paris FC.
Predicted Lineups
Auxerre: Leon; Sy, Akpa, Diomande, Senaya, Mensah; El Azzouzi, Ahamada; Faivre; Namoso, Sinayoko.
PSG: Chevalier; Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Beraldo, Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Mayulu; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
Kick-off Time
The match will take place at The Stade Abbé-Deschamps on Friday, 23 January 2026, starting at 19:00 GMT.
