PSG are set to return to action on Monday evening when they take part in the Coupe de France.

PSG are the current holders of the cup, and are by far and away the most successful side to compete for it, winning the Coupe de France on a staggering 14 occasions to date, including in six of the last seven years.

The Parisian outfit are set to face a round of 32 clash with Vannes this coming Monday, a tie they should have little issue winning, even with a depleted squad.
