Vitinha

Analysis: Vitinha was likely to make the team sheet Tuesday after training Monday and has done even better, as the midfielder is starting immediately. This is a major return for the club as they prepare to face the German giants, as he has started in all 14 of his UCL appearances while recording six goals and one assist.

Trains Monday, set to start Tuesday

Vitinha (heel) returned to full team training Monday and is on track to start Tuesday's Champions League semifinal against Bayern Munich, according to the club.

Analysis: Vitinha had been training on his own to manage the right heel inflammation that sidelined him for the last two matches, but his return to team training Monday is the strongest indication yet that he is good to go for PSG's biggest match of the season. The Portuguese midfielder is a key piece in coach Luis Enrique's engine room and his availability for Tuesday's showdown is a major lift, especially after Warren Zaire-Emery, Joao Neves and Lucas Beraldo filled in during his absence. Vitinha should return directly to the starting squad against the Bavarians now that he received the green light.
