Goal Scorer:
Newcastle United
The Newcastle medical team have had their fair share of bumps and bruises to deal with recently - some more significant than others - as Harvey Barnes (ankle), Joe Willock (Achilles) and Sven Botman (knee) are all set to miss Wednesday's glamour tie.
Callum Wilson's hamstring problem is likely to render him unavailable too, while Joelinton left the field with 68 minutes gone against Burnley due to a thigh strain of his own, although Howe is confident that the Brazilian's issue is not a serious one.
Nevertheless, the tight turnaround time will not benefit Joelinton's chances of a speedy recovery, while Anthony Gordon is suspended for Newcastle's upcoming Premier League clash with West Ham United but is fine to deputise for the stricken Barnes here.
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Pope; Trippier, Schar, Lascelles, Burn; Longstaff, Tonali, Guimaraes; Almiron, Isak, Gordon
PSG
Meanwhile, PSG's star man Mbappe completed the full 90 against Clermont after shaking off an ankle scare, but up-and-coming left-back Nuno Mendes has undergone surgery on a hamstring problem and will not play again until 2024.
Marco Asensio (foot) and Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles) are alongside Mendes in the medical bay, while goalkeeper Sergio Rico remains on the long road to recovery from his head trauma - fellow shot-stopper Keylor Navas has recovered from a lower back problem, though.
Following a lackadaisical display at the weekend, Enrique should no doubt recall the likes of Manuel Ugarte and teenage sensation Warren Zaire-Emery to the engine room, while Bradley Barcola will almost certainly cede his place to the returning Lucas Hernandez.
Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez; Vitinha, Ugarte, Zaire-Emery; Dembele, Kolo Muani, Mbappe
Prediction: Newcastle United 1-2 Paris Saint-Germain
