PSG predicted XI v Stuttgart: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Nuno Mendes out

Paris Saint-Germain head to Germany, knowing that a draw will be enough to secure their progression to the next phase of the UEFA Champions League.

The win over Manchester City last week was a big boost to PSG’s hopes of finishing in the top 24, however, they must finish the job against VfB Stuttgart on Wednesday night. Luis Enrique is without a couple of big players for the encounter. Khvicha Kvaratkshelia is ineligible to play for PSG, having only joined the club earlier this month, whilst Nuno Mendes misses out through suspension. In his place, Lucas Hernandez is expected to start at left-back.

Kvaratskhelia’s absence should pave the way for Bradley Barcola to return to the starting line-up, having been dropped against Stade de Reims over the weekend. Ousmane Dembélé could once again play through the middle for PSG, with Désiré Doué playing out on the right-hand-side.
