• Galtier: PSG working on next season's plans, including talks with Messi

  Paris Saint-Germain head coach Christophe Galtier is optimistic about the club's plans for next season, but admits there are parts of the setup that need improving "significantly".

  PSG still have a seven-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 despite a 2-0 home defeat to Rennes in their last game before the international break.

  Speaking ahead of Sunday's clash with Lyon at Parc des Princes, Galtier explained the work that is taking place to plan for the future, including discussions with Lionel Messi, whose deal expires at the end of the season.

  The World Cup winner has been linked with a return to Barcelona as well as a potential move to MLS with David Beckham-owned Inter Miami.

  "What will happen next season, we are working on it a lot, with management, with [director of football] Luis Campos," Galtier said.

  "There is what we want to do but there are also the positions of each other, the club, the players. What we need to change quite significantly, what we need to improve quite significantly to be even more competitive. 

  "Regarding the future of Leo, there is the position of Leo, of the club, it is discussed between the two parties. 

  "I am focused on the 10 matches that come up to get this title. As for knowing what Leo or the club will decide, that remains very confidential."

  Galtier also provided an update on Neymar, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury against Lille in February.

  "During the break, he came in for an evaluation of his ankle post-op," Galtier explained. "We're talking with him a lot, we obviously follow his rehabilitation process.

  "When there is an injury like this one, I like to give the player a bit of space, but we obviously keep in touch very regularly."

  PSG have just 10 league games remaining this season, having been eliminated from both the Coupe de France and Champions League, and Galtier has used the international break to try and prepare his team as they look to seal the Ligue 1 title.

  "We've had 10 days to work with a limited number of players," he said. "We've taken care of the little injuries, the players are coming back little by little. Tomorrow we will have a session focused on the game.

  "Paris-Lyon is a classic fixture in this league. We need to get back to winning ways after Rennes, and get back on track in the final sprint."

• Arsenal v Leeds United: Preview and prediction

  Arsenal can see the finish line in the Premier League title race after returning from the international break, but Mikel Arteta just wants his players to enjoy it.

  The Gunners are in pole position to end a 19-year wait for the championship, eight points clear of Manchester City – albeit having played a game more.

  Arteta's men were also in top form before the season was paused a fortnight ago, and they will be expecting another win at home to Leeds United.

  By then, City will have played Liverpool, who could tilt the odds further in Arsenal's favour.

  But Arteta is trying to avoid worrying about matters elsewhere, explaining this week: "We cannot control the outcome of other clubs.

  "All we can control is what we do every single day, how we behave, how we train, how we communicate, how we control our energy, and the messages we send to our people.

  "Now, it has to be about enjoying the last part of the season, with enthusiasm, energy and a real hunger to continue to do what we've done and, if possible, better.

  "I think we have really good people, and we have really good players. They are curious all the time to improve, learn and be better. It is a joy to work with this group.

  "They really follow us and want to please everybody, and they love what they do, love living with each other and playing for each other. I think you can sense that."

  Leeds were beaten 1-0 in the reverse fixture at Elland Road, a near-miss that new boss Javi Gracia has no interest in reflecting on.

  "We are looking for the next game and focused on the next game," he said.

  "For sure we are playing against the team at the top of the table and it will be very demanding for us.

  "But to have one option to get a good result, the first step is to believe that you can do it. The team believe that we can do it."

  PLAYERS TO WATCH

  Arsenal – Bukayo Saka

  Saka was one of the undoubted stars of the international break, with a sublime goal and equally brilliant assist for Harry Kane in England's 2-0 win over Ukraine. That sort of display was in keeping with what the Arsenal winger has produced in the Premier League this season, with no other player in the division joining him in reaching double-figures for both goals (12) and assists (10). Only Erling Haaland (33) and Kane (23) have more goal involvements.

  Leeds United – Jack Harrison

  Harrison has suddenly rediscovered his scoring touch, netting in back-to-back games after just two goals in his previous 29 Premier League appearances. But that is not to say he had not been delivering for Leeds in other ways as the winger leads the way for both assists (six) and chances created (41) among his team-mates.

  MATCH PREDICTION – ARSENAL WIN

  Arsenal have not lost to Leeds in all competitions since a 3-2 defeat in May 2003 ended their title bid. It will take more than that to stop the Gunners this time, though, and a repeat appears pretty unlikely at Emirates Stadium.

  Leeds have won only two of their 23 meetings with Premier League leaders, including losing each of their four such games against Arsenal by an aggregate score of 14-2.

  Meanwhile, Arteta's men are on a six-match winning run in the league, their joint-best under this manager. Arsenal last won seven in a row with Unai Emery at the helm between August and October 2018.

  OPTA WIN PROBABILITY

  Arsenal - 61.4 per cent

  Leeds United - 15.7 per cent

• Osimhen a doubt for Napoli's Champions League quarter-final against Milan

  Napoli striker Victor Osimhen faces a race against time to play any part in the Champions League quarter-final against Milan after suffering an injury.

  Osimhen played both games in the international break for Nigeria but has returned to the Italian club with a left thigh problem.

  The club announced on their website he will be assessed next week, with president Aurelio De Laurentiis hopeful the star striker will soon be back in action.

  De Laurentiis said, according to Tuttomercato: "He should be out a couple of weeks, we hope."

  Napoli host Milan in Serie A on Sunday before travelling to face Lecce on the following Friday, with Osimhen likely to miss both fixtures.

  The Champions League quarter-final first leg in Milan comes on April 12, with the return fixture taking place in Naples on April 18.

  The 24-year-old Osimhen has enjoyed a prolific season, scoring 25 goals in 29 games in all competitions, with Luciano Spalletti’s 19 points clear of second-placed Lazio in Serie A and through to their first-ever Champions League quarter-final.

  Argentine striker Giovanni Simeone will likely deputise in Osimhen’s absence, with the striker having netted eight times in all competitions this season.
