Champions: PSG vs. Atalanta – probable line-ups and where to watch on TV

Charles De Ketelaere and Nikola Krstovic are expected to lead the Atalanta attack in their Champions opener against PSG tonight.

It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 BST) at the Parc des Princes in Paris.

Atalanta are still without the injured Sead Kolasinac, Ederson, Gianluca Scamacca and Mitchel Bakker, plus Ademola Lookman, who is still not fit to play.

Multiple sources, including Sky Sport and Gazzetta, claim that Atalanta will pick Yunus Musah in central midfield and Mario Pasalic as an attacking midfielder, while Tuttosport and TMW report that Daniel Maldini will start as an attacking midfielder, with Pasalic in the middle of the park.

Odilon Kossounou might replace Giorgio Scalvini in central defence, while Davide Zappacosta is favourite over Raoul Bellanova on the right wing.

Former Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is in doubt due to a minor fibula issue, while ex-Inter defender Achraf Hakimi will star as a right-back for PSG.
