Luis Enrique seems set to have a fully fit Paris Saint-Germain squad for the visit of Liverpool(Image: UEFA via Getty Images)

Paris Saint-Germain prepared perfectly this weekend for their Champions League round of 16 first leg against Liverpool with a 4-1 win over Lille.

PSG took the lead in the sixth minute through Bradley Barcola at the Parc des Princes before Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue made it four ahead of half-time.

That unassailable advantage allowed their head coach Luis Enrique to make a quadruple substitution just after the hour-mark, withdrawing Achraf Hakimi, Dembele, Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes.

In their place, on came Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery and Willian Pacho.

Enrique then withdrew Doue for the final quarter of an hour and brought on Lee Kang-in.

Not only did those changes provide a rest for both full-backs, plus three of the front six, but they also enabled three PSG players to build their match fitness after recently returning from injury.

Zaire-Emery sprained his left ankle during their final league phase game against Stuttgart and missed the team's next seven matches before returning to training this week.

The teenage midfielder came on for around half an hour in the Coupe de France quarter-final against Stade Briochin on Wednesday night, then did so again versus Lille.

Lee and Vitinha missed the cup tie through injury but returned this weekend.

Enrique then appears to have a fully fit squad to select from for Wednesday's match.

Arne Slot, though, will not have such a luxury as both Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez are out for the foreseeable future with hamstring injuries.

The latter also had surgery on the problem, with a shoulder procedure also sidelining Tyler Morton.

Amara Nallo is another who will be absent.

The young defender will be serving a suspension on Wednesday after being sent off when making his debut in the Reds' final league phase game against PSV Eindhoven in late January.
