Latest Brest vs PSG squad information
Ahead of the match against Monaco, PSG announced that Warren Zaire-Emery and Ibrahim Mbaye are both dealing with ankle sprains and are likely to miss the match against Brest.
The French champions have a long injury list for their trip to Stade Francis-Le Ble, but new signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia could make his UCL debut on the left wing.
The Georgia international will line up alongside Ousmane Dembele, who scored a hat-trick against Stuttgart before netting a brace against Monaco. He has 21 goals in all competitions this season.
On Brest's side, Bradley Locko (leg) and Karamoko Dembele (muscle) are not eligible to play. Meanwhile, midfielder Jonas Martin is also injured. His ability to play is very low.
However, coach Roy does not have to worry about new injuries. PSG's defense will have to be wary of the home team's tall striker Ajorque.
The 30-year-old created more pressures in the opposition half than anyone else in the group stage (447). He also had 293 pressures in the attacking third, a tally only bettered by Erling Haaland (295).

Bizot; Lala, Chardonnet, Coulibaly, Haidara; Camara, Lees-Melou, Magnetti; Faivre, Ajorque, Balde

Latest Brest vs PSG football review
Despite the increasingly cramped trophy room at the Parc des Princes, PSG have yet to reach the Champions League title, with a lackluster group stage further dampening the team's confidence in a successful season.
In fact, coach Enrique's students only won 1 of the first 5 matches of the 2024-25 season, facing the risk of being eliminated early. However, the Ligue 1 champions have found stability in the final stage and have 3 consecutive victories.
Red Bull Salzburg, Manchester City and Stuttgart all succumbed to PSG's might in their final three group stage games. The French giants are aiming for a four-game winning streak in Europe's most prestigious tournament for the first time in four years (this feat was achieved in February 2021).
After thrashing Stuttgart 4-1 in their final group game, PSG repeated the scoreline at home to Monaco, a perfect celebration for Enrique's new signing, who is also taking the team closer to a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title.
Speaking of good things, the win over Monaco marked PSG's fourth consecutive victory in all competitions. They also extended their unbeaten run to 16 games (the last defeat was in an away Champions League game against Bayern Munich).
With PSG soon seen as a 'roadblock' in the Champions League, Eric Roy's Brest have emerged as shock contenders for a top eight spot. They won three of their first four group stage games and held Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen to a draw.
However, Les Pirates were unable to maintain their excellent form in the second half of the group stage (Barcelona, Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk proved too strong). However, a win over PSV Eindhoven in matchday 5 helped them secure a ticket to the play-off round.
Not since Nice (in the 1956-57 edition) has a French side reached the knockout stages in its first campaign. Brest have also prepared perfectly for next Tuesday's historic match.
After beating Troyes 2-1 in the Coupe de France (4/2), coach Roy led his students to a 2-0 victory over Nantes in Ligue 1 on Friday night. Thanks to goals from Ludovic Ajorque and Pierre Lees-Melou, Brest maintained their position in the top half of the table.
Brest's most recent home game, however, was against none other than PSG. The capital club won 5-2 on February 1 and extended their unbeaten run against Les Pirates to an astonishing 30 games. Brest have not beaten the champions since January 1985.
