PSG are definitely without the suspended Angel Di Maria and injured midfielder Marco Verratti.

Goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini has been ruled out with an injury for Atalanta and will be replaced by Marco Sportiello.

Opta facts

• This will be the first competitive game between Atalanta and PSG. Atalanta's only previous encounter with a French club in European competition was against Lyon in the 2017/18 Europa League group stages - the Bergamo side drew 1-1 in France and won 1-0 at home.
• PSG have never won a single game against Italian opposition in the Champions League (D4 L2). They've also never kept a clean sheet in those six matches.
• Despite losing their opening three games this season, Atalanta are the first Champions League debutants to reach the quarter-finals of the competition since Leicester City in 2016/17 and the first Italian side to do so since Lazio in the 1999/00 campaign
