| - Kylian Mbappe is only on the bench for Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League last 16, second leg against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday after struggling with illness and undergoing a test for coronavirus in the build-up to the game. The France striker missed two training sessions this week with a sore throat and a fever. His test for COVID-19 came up negative. In his absence, Spanish international Pablo Sarabia partners Edinson Cavani in the PSG attack for a match that is being played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus outbreak. With veteran centre-back Thiago Silva sidelined altogether, Marquinhos plays in central defence and Argentine international Leandro Paredes starts in midfield. The Dortmund line-up is unchanged from the first leg, with Erling Braut Haaland leading their attack. The Norwegian prodigy scored both goals for the Germans as they won the first leg 2-1 last month. Starting line-ups (2000 GMT kick-off): Paris Saint-Germain (4-4-2) Keylor Navas; Thilo Kehrer, Marquinhos (capt), Presnel Kimpembe, Juan Bernat; Angel Di Maria, Idrissa Gueye, Leandro Paredes, Neymar; Pablo Sarabia, Edinson Cavani Coach: Thomas Tuchel (GER) Borussia Dortmund (3-4-3) Roman Burki; Lukasz Piszczek (capt), Mats Hummels, Dan-Axel Zagadou; Achraf Hakimi, Axel Witsel, Emre Can, Raphael Guerreiro; Jadon Sancho, Erling Braut Haaland, Thorgan Hazard Coach: Lucien Favre (SUI) Referee: Anthony Taylor (ENG) as/mw
