Latest Nantes vs PSG squad information
Coach Luis Enrique rotated his squad heavily in the match against Le Havre, not registering Ousmane Dembele and leaving Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves on the bench.
The opportunity to play was given to Senny Mayulu, while Nuno Mendes was also given a rest to give young player Ibrahim Mbaye (17 years old) a chance to show himself in the first team.
In this match, PSG can return with a stronger squad to maintain the playing spirit of the pillars, before coach Enrique continues to rotate in the match against Nice at the weekend.
For Nantes, Marcus Coco will be suspended after receiving a red card against Rennes. Full-back Fabien Centonze will continue to be absent for undisclosed reasons, as will goalkeeper Alban Lafont.
Three other players, Francis Coquelin (hamstring), Adel Mahamoud (knee) and Sekou Doucoure (shoulder) will also be unavailable.
Notably, both goalkeeper Anthony Lopes and Welsh international Sorba Thomas were injured over the weekend, so third-choice goalkeeper Patrick Carlgren will make his sixth start for Nantes in this match.

Latest Nantes vs PSG football prediction
Although they have officially won Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) still has a big goal ahead: to become the first team in the history of the tournament to complete the entire season without losing a single match.
Luis Enrique's side are also strong contenders for the Champions League title, and are favourites to win the French Cup final against Reims – opening up the chance of an unprecedented treble for a French side.
With five games remaining in the 34-game season, PSG are closing in on the longest unbeaten run in Ligue 1 history – Nantes’ 32-game unbeaten run – and with their current form, that record could soon be broken.
After a two-week break from Ligue 1, PSG returned to action this weekend with a hard-fought 2-1 home win over Le Havre. While the performance wasn't too impressive, the win still helped them overcome another challenge on their historic journey.
This is also PSG's 10th consecutive win in Ligue 1 - something they have not done since the 2018-19 season. However, their upcoming opponents are one of the few teams that have made PSG drop points this season.
In the first leg, PSG controlled 84% of the ball and made 1,008 passes, but in the end only drew 1-1 with Nantes - a rare result in PSG's streak of 22 wins in the previous 25 matches.
Still, PSG maintain a remarkable record: they have scored in 27 consecutive games against Nantes – the longest scoring streak against a specific opponent in the club's history.
The first-leg draw also ended Nantes' run of five consecutive defeats against PSG, but the possibility of them doing so again is very low as they have lost six of their last nine Ligue 1 matches.
That included last weekend's defeat when Nantes lost 1-0 to Rennes, despite playing with a man down for the final 30 minutes. Marcus Coco's red card cost the team the decisive goal in the 86th minute, after a goal from young talent Mohamed Meite.
PSG's win over Le Havre also helped Nantes, keeping them three points clear of the relegation zone, with Angers also losing. However, Reims' win left them in 14th place, with four crucial games to play after facing PSG.
Nantes' final season schedule is considered the easiest among the bottom four teams, as all four remaining opponents are in the bottom half of the table, including the final round match against Montpellier - the team currently at the bottom.
Nantes currently have 30 points – enough to stay in the top flight last season (Metz had to play a play-off with 29 points). But with Le Havre on 27 points, this season they will likely need more than that to stay in Ligue 1.
