Lucas Moura, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Benjamin Stambouli could feature.

Shakhtar head coach Mircea Lucescu can welcome Darijo Srna and Olexandr Kucher back from suspension here and both are expected to come back into the side.
Bernard is set to get the nod ahead of Taison to feature on the left wing.
Maksym Malyshev is a doubt for Lucescu, though he is the manager's only injury concern.

Prediction
PSG are guaranteed a place in the next round of the Champions League and have no chance of finishing top spot given their inferior head to head record with Real Madrid. However, they will be looking to end the group stage of the competition on a high with a win.
Shakhtar need a positive result and to hope Malmo slip up in order to secure third place in Group A. The Ukrainian side have underwhelmed in Europe's elite competition this term and have just one win to their name.
While PSG may take this opportunity to rest key players, the hosts should still come out on top here.
