Following the selection of a strong starting lineup against Auxerre, PSG is expected to field a full-strength team for this match, potentially using the same squad that Luis Enrique might choose for their upcoming game against Inter Milan, unless any injuries arise.


The only spot in contention is on the wing, where Bradley Barcola and Desire Doue are competing for a starting role in the attack alongside the season's standout player, Ousmane Dembele, and the impactful winter signing, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.


PSG's squad is completely fit, giving Enrique the flexibility to make rotations if needed, particularly with players like Goncalo Ramos on the bench; the Portuguese forward leads the club in Coupe de France goals this season with five.


Reims will miss Reda Khadra, Mohamed Daramy, and Yaya Fofana due to injuries, while semi-final hero Teuma has not featured since their victory over Cannes, and his time at the club appears to be ending.


Aurelio Buta and Junya Ito were notably absent from the team that played Metz on Wednesday, possibly to prepare for this game and the upcoming second leg; Ito's potential return would be a significant advantage, as he created the most chances in Ligue 1 this season with 83.


Keito Nakamura is likely to be the key figure if Reims hopes to achieve anything this weekend, as the Japanese forward is the team's leading scorer with 12 goals and recently returned from suspension to play a full 90 minutes midweek.


Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:

Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia


Reims possible starting lineup:

Diouf; Sekine, Okumu, Kipre, Akieme; Patrick, Gbane, Atangana; Ito, Siebatcheu, Nakamura
