Central defender Willian Pacho and left back Nuno Mendes have minor right thigh injuries while midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery has been ruled out with lower back pain, the club said in its pre-match medical bulletin Saturday.

PSG was already without star right back Achraf Hakimi and backup goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier due to thigh injuries.

PSG eliminated Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinals on Wednesday and will defend its European crown against Premier League leader Arsenal on May 30 in Budapest.

PSG has not yet sealed the Ligue 1 title but the defending champion can do so against second-place Lens on Wednesday in a rescheduled match from April.

Lens beat Nantes 1-0 on Friday.
