Aston Villa’s striker Ollie Watkins, who recently returned from a knee issue, scored as a substitute in Villa’s 3-0 Premier League win against Southampton, indicating his readiness for the crucial match against PSG.
Manager Unai Emery highlighted Watkins’ form and the depth of his squad as key factors in their preparation.
Paris Saint-Germain’s squad remains largely fit, with no major injury concerns reported ahead of the second leg.
Manager Luis Enrique has the advantage of a well-rested team, as PSG’s recent league game was postponed, allowing players additional recovery time.
