Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Paris Saint-Germain could line up for Wednesday's Ligue 1 clash with Angers.

Paris Saint-Germain attacker Lionel Messi is set to make his return to the starting lineup when the capital giants host Angers in Wednesday's Ligue 1 match at the Parc des Princes.

The Argentina World Cup winner returned to training to a guard of honour from his teammates last week, and Christophe Galtier can also count on Neymar again following his suspension.

As a result, Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar are ready to reunite in the final third of the field, as Galtier reverts to his strongest XI after beating Chateauroux in the Coupe de France.

As well as missing Renato Sanches, who is yet to fully recover from a contusion, Galtier has also seen his midfield depleted further by the absence of Marco Verratti due to a fresh thigh injury.

Danilo Pereira should therefore be called upon to link up with Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz, with Carlos Soler expected to take his place among the substitutes.

Further back, Achraf Hakimi will serve his own suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards, allowing Nordi Mukiele the opportunity to bomb down the right after seemingly shaking off an injury scare from the win over Chateauroux.

Presnel Kimpembe and Nuno Mendes also remain sidelined for PSG, whose backline ought to comprise Mukiele, Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos and Juan Bernat in front of Gianluigi Donnarumma - back in for Keylor Navas after a rare start for the Costa Rican in the Coupe de France.

PSG possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Mukiele, Marquinhos, Ramos, Bernat; Vitinha, Pereira, Ruiz; Messi; Mbappe, Neymar
