PSG vs Bayern Munich – Match preview and team news Date: Tuesday, 28th April. Kick-off: 8pm BST. Venue: Parc Des Princes, Paris.
PSG team news Luis Enrique enters this high-stakes semi-final with a remarkably healthy squad. The most vital update is the return of midfielder Vitinha, who has fully recovered from a recent heel injury and is expected to anchor the centre of the pitch. Fans will also be relieved to see star full-backs Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes available for selection after both shook off minor fitness concerns following their quarter-final victory.
Additionally, Desire Doue has been cleared for action, ensuring the Parisians have their full attacking arsenal at their disposal. Fabian Ruiz is also fit to start and has regained his match fitness. Although he was subbed off at half-time against Angers, it was more of a tactical change.
The only definitive absentee for the defending champions is teenage winger Quentin Ndjantou, who remains sidelined with a thigh issue. With the core of their treble-winning side intact, PSG looks prepared to defend their European crown on home soil. Bayern Munich team news Bayern Munich faces a much more complicated situation as they travel to the Parc des Princes, dealing with both player absences and a leadership void.
