Paris Saint-Germain travel to Lisbon to face Sporting CP this Tuesday, January 20, 2026, for a Matchday 7 fixture in the Champions League. The defending champions currently sit in 3rd place with 13 points and have already secured their place in the knockout phase play-offs.
Luis Enrique’s side enters the match in high spirits after a dominant 3-0 win over Lille in Ligue 1. However, the manager faces several squad challenges.
Achraf Hakimi and Ibrahim Mbaye are unavailable after playing in the AFCON final, while Lucas Hernandez is suspended. Midfielders João Neves, Kang-In Lee, and Quentin Ndjantou are also sidelined with injuries.
Despite these absences, all eyes will be on Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé, who scored twice in his last domestic outing, and former Sporting defender Nuno Mendes, who returns to face his old club.
Sporting CP
Sporting CP, currently coached by Rui Borges, occupy 14th place in the Champions League table with 10 points. The reigning Portuguese champions are in strong form at home, boasting a perfect record of three wins from three European matches at the Estádio José Alvalade this season.
The “Lions” are also dealing with a significant injury list. Key players Pedro Gonçalves, Ousmane Diomande, Geovany Quenda, and Fotis Ioannidis are all ruled out.
Furthermore, captain Morten Hjulmand is suspended after accumulating yellow cards. Sporting will rely on the creativity of Francisco Trincão, who has 21 goal contributions this season, and the scoring threat of Colombian striker Luis Suárez to test the PSG defense.
