How PSG will lineup vs Bayern after latest injuries for UCL final
Paris Saint-Germain are hopeful over the fitness of goalkeeper Keylor Navas ahead of facing Bayern Munich in tonight’s Champions League final.
Navas was forced off against Atalanta with a thigh injury and subsequently missed the semi-final as former Fulham keeper Sergio Rico deputised.
Marco Verratti has been struggling with a calf injury but a cameo against RB Leipzig has raised hopes that he will be fit to start against Bayern.
Mauro Icardi is facing a nervous wait to find out if he also gets named in Thomas Tuchel’s starting XI after missing out against Leipzig.

Neymar impressed in a slightly withdrawn ‘false nine’ role in the semi-final, operating centrally to wide attackers Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria, a formula Tuchel could stick with.
Layvin Kurzawa and Idrissa Gueye are fitness doubts, though neither would likely start.
PSG starting XI: Navas; Kehrer, Silva, Kimpembe, Bernat; Verratti, Marquinhos, Paredes; Di Maria, Mbappe, Neymar
Bayern starting XI : Neuer; Kimmich, Boateng, Alaba, Davies; Thiago, Goretzka; Gnabry, Muller, Perisic; Lewandowski
