Having come through their final league game of the season unscathed, PSG boss Enrique looks set to have a fully fit squad to select from on Saturday night.

Reims will again be unable to call upon the services of injured duo Mohamed Daramy and Reda Khadra. 

PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
