Paris Saint-Germain will take on local rivals Paris FC this Sunday at Parc des Princes in a significant Ligue 1 match.

PSG team news
Several PSG players are unavailable due to Africa Cup of Nations responsibilities and fitness concerns. Matvey Safonov, Quentin Ndjantou, Lee Kang-In, Achraf Hakimi, and Ibrahim Mbaye will not participate.
Lucas Chevalier is set to return as goalkeeper after recovering from an injury. Warren Zaire-Emery will fill in at right-back in Hakimi’s absence, having performed well since Hakimi’s injury during the Champions League match against Bayern Munich.
