PSG vs Real Sociedad lineups: Starting XIs, confirmed team news, injury latest for Champions League today

Paris Saint-Germain have Kylian Mbappe fit and in the starting lineup for tonight’s Champions League clash against Real Sociedad after an injury concern.

The French forward was left on the bench as PSG beat Lille on Saturday despite pre-game assertions that he was fit to play.

But coach Luis Enrique has insisted that Mbappe was available, even if he was ultimately not risked as Les Parisiens came from behind to win in Ligue 1, and the PSG star starts tonight.

“Kylian is fine, but we didn’t want to take any risks,” he told reporters. “If it was a final, he would have played, but he will be 100 per cent ready on Wednesday.”

PSG have several well-rested players back for the last-16 first leg in Paris. Gianluigi Donnarumma returns along with Achraf Hakimi, Bradley Barcola and Vitinha.

Sociedad head to France on a run of 384 minutes without scoring a goal.

Mikel Oyarzabal has not recovered from a muscle injury picked up earlier this month, meaning he is not involved to try and help end that run.

Hamari Traore, Robin Le Normand, Brais Mendez and Ander Barrenetxea were all rested for the weekend defeat at home to Osasuna, and comes back into the side in Paris.

Arsenal loanee Kieran Tierney leads their list of absentees.

PSG XI: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Danilo, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Emery, Fabian, Vitinha, Dembele, Mbappe, Barcola.

Subs: Navas, Ugarte, Ramos, Asensio, Hernandez, Muani, Mukiele, Soler, Mbappe, Mayulu, Tenas

Real Sociedad XI: Remiro, Traore, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Galan, Zubimendi, Merino, Brais, Barrene, Kubo, Silva

Subs: Marrero, Fraga, Zakharyan, De Zarate, Olasagasti, Sadiq, Pacheco, Turrientes, Magunazelaia, Marin, Aramburu
