Reims-PSG: Neymar back, Gueye still too fair

Thomas Tuchel had left the doubt on Saturday at a press conference on the participation of Idrissa Gueye in the trip to Reims.

The German coach did not want to take any risks.

Hit in the left ankle last week during the success in Nice (0-3), the Senegalese international will ultimately not be on the trip to Champagne this Sunday evening due to an embarrassment still present.

Layvin Kurzawa, who will serve the third of his six suspension games, Thilo Kehrer, in trouble with his adductors and Juan Bernat, who will have surgery for his ruptured cruciate ligament in his left knee next week, stayed at home. .

Marcin Bulka, whose coach has confirmed that he would undoubtedly be on loan this season, is not in the group, unlike Alexandre Letellier, recruited this week to take on the post of third goalkeeper.

The champion of France, however, records valuable returns from suspension.

In addition to those of Leandro Paredes, expelled against OM and Abdou Diallo, who had received two yellows in front of Metz, PSG especially finds Neymar.

Good news which Thomas Tuchel rejoiced in the perspective of his association with Kylian Mbappé.

With them "everything becomes easier," agreed the German.

It's harder for the opponent to defend, easier for us to attack, it opens up spaces… We want to play with both because they are there to make a difference.

They will start together, that's for sure.

Allow Icardi to find his way back to the goals

Silent for five games, Mauro Icardi is in the group and could be lined up at the forefront in order to regain the net and confidence.

He should be able to count on the "caviars" of Angel Di Maria who, for having received four games of suspension for his spitting in the direction of the Marseillais Alvaro Gonzalez, will then be at rest until the start of the Champions League on 20 and October 21.

In addition to his four-quarter of ace in the offensive sector, Thomas Tuchel could entrust the midfield to a duo Verratti - Paredes (or Herrera) in front of a defense composed of the Italian right side Florenzi, a Marquinhos - Kimpembé hinge and the left side Mitchel Bakker.

The possible team:

Navas - Florenzi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Bakker - Verratti, Paredes (or Herrera) - Di Maria, Mbappé, Icardi, Neymar.
