Luis Enrique is confident Paris Saint-Germain's back-up players will step up and be counted when required as his team look to triumph on multiple fronts.

PSG are into the Champions League semi-finals, with Bayern Munich coming up.

However, first off they will face Nantes and then Angers in Ligue 1. With a game in hand, PSG are just a point ahead of Lens in a tight title race.

Yet Luis Enrique is having to contend with the potential absence of one of his star players, with midfielder Vitinha having sustained a foot injury in Sunday's defeat to Lyon.

Vitinha is expected to miss PSG's next two matches, and could well face a race against time to be fit enough to feature against Bayern.

"There are still two very important league matches left [before the semi-final]," said Luis Enrique when asked about Vitinha's chances of playing against the Bundesliga champions.

"We'll see, calmly and patiently, how the injured players can return. But I don't know."

Asked about other players stepping in when his star names are unavailable, Luis Enrique added: "What I think about the substitutes is that we won everything last year thanks to this type of substitute.

"They always trained well, played very well when needed. This year, it's the same thing."

Vitinha leads PSG's squad for assists in Ligue 1 this term, with seven, while he has created 34 chances.

PLAYERS TO WATCH 

PSG – Ousmane Dembele

Should he feature, Dembele will make his 100th Ligue 1 appearance. He has played 73 times in the competition for PSG, having previously made 26 appearances during his time at Rennes.

He scored 12 goals and assisted five for Rennes, and has netted 34 and assisted 19 for PSG.

Nantes – Mostafa Mohamed

Mohamed scored for Nantes in their 1-1 draw with Brest last time out.

He is now on four Ligue 1 goals this season, just one behind Nantes' leading scorer in the top flight, Matthis Abline (five goals).

MATCH PREDICTION: PSG WIN

PSG are overwhelming favourites to take the three points here and edge further towards retaining their title.

However, Nantes are undefeated in their last three league games, and they desperately need points if they are to beat the drop.

They sit 17th as it stands, and while their run of three straight draws has kept them within five points of safety, they are now six league matches without a win.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia netted in PSG's loss to Lyon. He has now scored 14 times this term in all competitions, and one more goal will mark his best scoring season.

PSG have lost three of their 12 home games in 2026 in all competitions (W7 D2), as many as they did in 24 home matches in 2025 (W19 D2), so Nantes can have some hope, even if the odds are against them.
