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

Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier is once again faced with numerous injury dilemmas for Sunday's top-of-the-table Ligue 1 clash with Marseille in Le Classique.

The champions lost both Neymar and Nuno Mendes to injury during last weekend's 4-3 win over Lille, and the former will reportedly spend another three weeks on the sidelines with his ankle problem.

Meanwhile, Mendes's knock to the knee is not thought to be as serious, but Juan Bernat should start at left-back here, and Galtier will most likely have to make a last-minute call on his starting right-back.

Nordi Mukiele is back in full training after over a month out with a hamstring issue, but it remains to be seen if he can prove his match fitness in time, while first-choice Achraf Hakimi is still a doubt too.

It has been suggested that 16-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery could be a potential solution, but Mukiele could yet make himself available, and Galtier has been further boosted by Marquinhos's return to team training from a thigh concern.

The Brazilian could therefore displace Presnel Kimpembe - whose performance against Lille was far from exemplary - as Gianluigi Donnarumma and Sergio Ramos, who has just retired from international football, complete the backline.

PSG's recent penchant for conceding goals could see Galtier introduce Danilo Pereira into the engine room alongside Marco Verratti and Vitinha, with Renato Sanches still on the mend from his latest hamstring problem.

In the absence of Neymar, Hugo Ekitike could get the nod to partner Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, both of whom are out to earn their own slices of history on Sunday.

Messi needs just one more goal to reach 700 in his club career, while Mbappe sits on 198 PSG strikes and will overtake Edinson Cavani (200) as the team's all-time leading goalscorer with a hat-trick on Sunday.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Mukiele, Marquinhos, Ramos, Bernat; Verratti, Danilo, Vitinha; Messi; Mbappe, Ekitike
