Bench option
Karl (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against PSG.
Analysis: Karl was already deemed fit ahead of Wednesday's match, and that earns him a role on the bench. He was on a solid run of play before the injury and will look to earn some time, although they may be cautious to use such a young player coming off an injury in a major match. If he is to appear, expect him to come off the bench in place of an attacking midfielder, possibly replacing Jamal Musiala if he is run into the ground.
Fit for return
Karl (hamstring) is an option for Wednesday's match against PSG, according to manager Vincent Kompany. "The first good news is that everyone except Serge is fit and available."
Analysis: Karl has been in team training this week, and that is enough for the attacker to return after missing the last month of action. This is good news for the young attacker as he will hope for a moment to shine in UCL play, although it will probably have to come from the bench. He is likely to start on the bench as Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala and Luis Diaz see the start in the attacking portion of the midfield, but his return does give the club a dangerous weapon from the bench.
