No surprise, but good news for Mauricio Pochettino.
As he hinted at a press conference on Monday, the Parisian coach will be able to count on Mauro Icardi this Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes for the reception of RB Leipzig.
Authorized by his club not to participate in training sessions on Sunday and Monday due to his marital problems, the Argentine striker is present in the group for the match of this 3rd day of the Champions League.

Hit in the hip with Costa Rica during the international break, Keylor Navas is also present at the meeting.
He will play the competition that opposes him in the cage to Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Paredes and Ramos also absent
To keep its first place in the group and hope to inflict its third loss in a row to Leipzig in the competition, the capital club will on the other hand have to do without Neymar, victim of groin pain on Monday in training, of Angel Di Maria, who will serve his third and last suspension match, Leo Paredes, touched on quadriceps with Argentina or Sergio Ramos, who has not resumed collective training.

Absences which, added to those not registered in the UEFA list Juan Bernat and Rafinha, did not prevent Mauricio Pochettino from composing a group of 22 players. Three weeks after the success (2-0) won against Manchester City, the Argentine coach could make some changes to his starting XI. If Donnarumma holds the rope in the goal, that the defense Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Mendes should again be aligned, Wijnaldum could however start in the midfield with the pair Verratti - Gueye. In the absence of Neymar, third place in the attacking trio alongside the Messi - Mbappé tandem will be played between Julian Draxler and, if he is able, Mauro Icardi.
The group: Navas, Donnarumma - Letellier;
Hakimi, Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Dagba, Kurzawa, Diallo, Kehrer, Mendes, Bitumazala - Verratti, Danilo, Wijnaldum, Herrera, Gueye, Dina Ebimbe - Mbappé, Icardi, Draxler, Messi.
