Defense star Sergio Ramos is in the Champions League line-up of Paris Saint-Germain for the group game at Manchester City on Wednesday.

This emerges from the squad list of soccer coach Mauricio Pochettino, which the French top club published on its homepage on Tuesday.

Ramos could thus celebrate his debut for the Ligue 1 leaders in Manchester.

It wasn't until November 9 that the 35-year-old Spaniard did his first training for his new club after 16 years at Real Madrid.

After a long period of suffering, after doubts about health and rumors of a possible termination of the contract, the next step in the comeback of the 180-time Spanish national player is now to follow.

Ramos missed the European Championship in the summer because he could not cure a tendon injury in time.

Julian Draxler will be canceled in the game on Wednesday in Manchester.

The midfielder sustained a muscular injury in preparation for the German national team's World Cup qualifiers, which continues to force him to take a break.
