Paris Saint-Germain will host Brest tonight (Friday, 22:00), and will try to maintain a perfect balance in the French league even after the third round.
Leo Messi was not included in the PSG squad, unfortunately for football fans around the world who are expecting Leo Messi's debut for the Parisian team.
Apart from Messi, Neymar and Nadaro Pardes also did not join the trip to Brest.
Sergio Ramos, Idrissa Gay and Joan Bernat will continue to be out due to injuries, but Angel Di Maria, Marco Verratti and Marcinius have returned to Mauricio Pochettino's squad.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donaroma has been included in the PSG squad, and is likely to open at the gate for the first time since winning Italy at Euro 2020. Despite rumors surrounding him a possible move to Real Madrid this summer, Killian Ambape has also been included in the squad.
