Parisian players flew to Monaco on Tuesday evening to play their late Ligue 1 match against the Principality club on Wednesday at 9 p.m. Edinson Cavani, who entered the game late Sunday in a draw (3-3) at Parc des Princes, replacing Mauro Icardi, did not make the trip. He is not part of the group of twenty players selected by coach Thomas Tuchel. According to the medical statement of the Parisian club, the Uruguayan striker "is spared after feeling discomfort in the groin during the last training".
Marquinhos at rest
Argentinian midfielder Leandro Paredes is the other last minute absent. "He felt pain in his right ankle after training and will stay in care for two to three days."
The two South American players join the executives already announced absent by Thomas Tuchel in the middle of the day: Marquinhos (adductors), Bernat (right calf) and Meunier (low back pain).
Finally, the Cameroonian striker Choupo-Moting also remains in Paris (choice of coach).
