Mauricio Pochettino has called up a group of 22 players to face Bruges on Wednesday in the first day of the Champions League.
As feared, Paris Saint-Germain will be deprived of its midfielder, Marco Verratti.
The Italian was injured ten days ago with Squadra Azzura.
Since then he had suffered from a contusion on his left knee and had not been able to participate in the last training sessions with the rest of the team.
He will therefore miss the trip and will have to observe a period of care of at least ten days according to the club's medical statement.
Other players are also injured or in the process of recovery such as Ramos (calf), Kurzawa (adductor) who must resume training during the week, Dagba, Bernat (recovery). Rafinha and Rico, who are not on the list of players authorized to participate in the Champions League, are logically absent. Di Maria and Gueye are suspended for this meeting. On the other hand, Messi, Paredes and Neymar who had not been able to participate in the last league match, due to a late return to the selection, are present. Donnarumma and Navas, the two goalkeepers competing for the starting position, also feature in the squad. The Parisian staff called several young shoots from the training center to complete the collective. They are Bitshiabu, Alloh, Bitumazala and Dina Ebimbe.The PSG team will train for the last time at the Bruges stadium this Tuesday evening at 6 p.m.
