For its part, PSG said Monday that his playing master, injured Sunday by a tackle from Lyonnais Thiago Mendes, suffered from a sprained left ankle.

His exams were however "reassuring", according to the club.

On the ground of the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, the German coach could also find his captain Marquinhos, hit in a hip and who will miss, against Lorient, his second consecutive match.

For Kylian Mbappé, who could only play the last half hour against Lyon because of muscle fatigue, Tuchel hopes to align him from the kick-off against Lorient.

"I really think he can start with us but during this season, we had a lot of surprises in the last training, so I'm very careful," he said.

PSG also confirmed the expected absences of Abdou Diallo (hamstrings), Pablo Sarabia (ischios), Mauro Icardi (adductors) and Juan Bernat (knee).

Julian Draxler is back.
