The players absent for PSG/Reims are now generally known in both camps and there will be more missing on the Reims side than in Paris. On the PSG side, recruit Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is available for this PSG/Reims.
Barely three days after a hot European evening, Ligue 1 makes its return this Saturday evening (9:05 p.m.) on the occasion of the 19th day of Ligue 1 with a PSG/Reims inevitably less attractive. On the eve of the match, it is generally known who will be the missing players in this clash between two historic teams in the French championship and PSG has a clear advantage over Stade de Reims.
Only one injured on PSG side, Kvaratskhelia available
On the Parisian side, the infirmary was not full after Wednesday evening, which is excellent news as confirmed by the absence of a medical update released by the club today. This means that the only player absent due to injury will be one of the young elements of the group, even the youngest, namely the striker Ibrahim Mbaye who turns 17 today. He should still be absent for a few more weeks before making his return but at this moment it is the only package truly recorded for PSG/Reims.
Since Randal First Class is now a Juventus Turin player for six months, there is only one player awaiting departure who will not be affected by the match, namely Milan Skriniar who will join Fenerbahçe shortly. As for several weeks, Marco Asensio shouldn't be sidelined but he's unlikely to play any minutes either. Presnel Kimpembe should also be in the squad and he could play his first minutes of the season if all goes well.
Finally, and for the first time, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will be able to play. Not qualified last weekend in Lens nor Wednesday evening in the Champions League against City, he is now and Luis Enrique announced that Kvara was available for PSG / Reims: “Physically he is very good. We saw him in training, he has no problems. He has already adapted perfectly, he is a PSG player. I see it very well. He's ready. »

Five absentees announced for Reims
On the Reims side, the absentees against PSG were announced by coach Luka Elsner at a press conference this Thursday and he will still have to do without three midfielders: Gabriel Moscardo is at the Copa America U20 with Brazil while Yaya Breathe and Amadou Kone are in the infirmary. Suffice to say that the Stade de Reims will have few solutions in this sector even if the winter recruit John Patrick is available.
Japanese full-back Hiroki stopalso arrived this winter, will be available but doubt surrounds the presence of the third arrival this winter, central defender Malcolm Jeng. On the absent side, two players will be missing, the two wingers Mohamed Daramy and Reda Khadra who are seriously injured in the knee and will not play again for a while.
