PSG Faces Athletic Bilbao in Champions League Amid Key Defensive Absences

This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain travels to Bilbao to face Athletic Club in the sixth matchday of the Champions League group stage.

In a significant development for PSG, they have learned that Athletic Bilbao will be without defender Aymeric Laporte for this evening’s clash at San Mamés. The Spanish international sustained an injury during the weekend’s La Liga match against Atlético Madrid and is currently “awaiting further assessment,” as confirmed by the Basque club on Monday morning, just two days before the match.

Injuries Plague PSG’s Roster

While Athletic will miss Laporte, PSG has been grappling with a long list of absences. Achraf Hakimi is confirmed out, and several key players remain uncertain for the match. Notable names include Désiré Doué, Nuno Mendes, and Lucas Chevalier, while Lucas Hernandez is set to serve a suspension. Updates regarding potential returns for the Parisian squad are expected on Tuesday afternoon during their training session at San Mamés.
