Paris Saint Germain Availability

PSG also have notable issues.

• L. Chevalier (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
• A. Hakimi (Thigh Injury) is sidelined.
• Q. Ndjantou (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.

A. Hakimi’s absence is a major blow given his 6 assists from defence. However, top scorer K. Kvaratskhelia (10 goals, 5 assists) and D. Doué (5 goals, 4 assists) are available to lead the attack.

Impact Summary

Bayern lose depth options like S. Gnabry, who contributed 2 goals and 5 assists, trimming secondary creativity but keeping their primary firepower intact. PSG’s main attacking numbers remain on the pitch, yet the loss of Hakimi removes an important wide supply line in a finely balanced semi-final.
