According to , the PSG boss will leave Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes and Marquinhos out of the squad which will travel to Strasbourg. The French champions are set to name those travelling to the Stade de la Meinau on Saturday morning.

The trio of star defenders will not be included among that group though, as Enrique looks to protect them. Several other stars are also said to be rested ahead of the second leg against Arsenal, but have not yet been named.

PSG won the reverse fixture 4-2 in Paris back in October and Enrique has insisted he is keen to claim a win. The Spaniard refused to divulge his plans for his squad, cheekily telling journalists on Friday: "You will see that tomorrow."

He added: "We're going to do what we've been doing up to now, with the same idea. Nothing has changed. The most important thing is that every minute spent wearing the PSG jersey is useful for matches in other competitions.

"It's a match we're preparing for in the Champions League, in the Coupe de France, not for the unbeaten record. It would be great to win the match in Strasbourg, but the motivation is to prepare for the Champions League match, not to break an unbeaten record.

"Invisible training is essential for a professional player, and I don't worry about what he does at home. The club has a culture and tries to improve the player. We are experts on such tight schedules. Last year, we were only missing one match, the Champions League final.

"We want to achieve this objective of playing this final, but there is still the semi-final second leg. We are used to it. There is not much time to rest, you have to manage all of this. We, the coaches, go for the best. Many variations change every week. I have been a top-level coach for several years and it is part of the job."
