Paris Saint-Germain have made two changes for tonight’s Champions League semi-final second-leg clash against Borussia Dortmund.

The Ligue 1 champions are already trailing following a 1-0 defeat in Germany last week and have lost key defender Lucas Hernandez to injury.

Hernandez tore the ACL in his left knee during the first leg and will now miss the upcoming European Championship for France, too.

January signing Lucas Beraldo takes his place in the PSG backline tonight, getting the nod over Milan Skriniar, who is back from injury but lacks full match fitness.

Beraldo joins captain Marquinhos in the centre of defence, though Presnel Kimpembe is still out.

In attack, PSG head coach Luis Enrique has turned to Portugal star Goncalo Ramos following so many missed chances last week, replacing Bradley Barcola.

Dortmund, meanwhile, have picked the same team which earned last week’s victory on home soil.

Sebastien Haller was once again out of the squad for the weekend thrashing of Augsburg as he nursed an injury but he was named in the Dortmund group travelling to Paris and is on the bench.

BVB remain without Ramy Bensebaini and Julien Duranville, though Julian Ryerson and Karim Adeyemi are both fit to start as expected.
