PSG predicted XI v Lyon: Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembélé out, João Neves as right-back

Paris Saint-Germain travel to the Groupama Stadium in a high-profile clash with Olympique Lyonnais this evening. The reigning champions are looking to take back top spot from Olympique de Marseille, who sit a point ahead of them following their win over Stade Brestois. 

Injuries have been the story of the season so far for PSG, and that continued during their 2-1 defeat to Bayern Munich during the week. Acharf Hakimi avoided a fracture but is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines, while Ousamne Dembélé sustained a hamstring strain. 

João Neves looks likely to take up Hakimi’s right-back role, according to L’Équipe, while Gonçalo Ramos will likely be back as the starting striker. Elsewhere, Nuno Mendes and Désiré Doué remain out of action.
