Head to Dortmund for the PSG delegation, where their Champions League round of 16 first leg awaits on Tuesday evening. A journey in which Neymar takes part. The Brazilian, who has not played for a fortnight and an injury to the odds, has been training normally for several days and is therefore logically part of the Paris group. Unless surprised, he will start the meeting in Germany.
He is accompanied by Kimpembe, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Bernat, Verratti and Gueye. All of these players were recently injured or tired. They are present in the group of 21 players convened by Tuchel this Monday morning. As for Diallo (convalescence), Dagba (knee) and Choupo-Moting (not registered), they stayed in Paris.
The only surprise: the absence of Paredes. Is the Argentine environment physically affected? No, according to the club. It is indeed a choice of Tuchel, which also rewards Kouassi. Sunday morning at Camp des Loges, he was the first to leave Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines) after some light indoor work while his teammates finished the day's session.
The probable eleven:
Navas - Meunier, Thiago Silva (cap.), Kimpembe, Bernat (or Kurzawa) - Di Maria, Verratti, Marquinhos, Neymar - Mbappé, Icardi.
