There will be two French in the starting lineup of Real Madrid, this Tuesday, at 9 p.m., at the Parc des Princes, for the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against PSG.
Long uncertain, Karim Benzema and Ferland Mendy are among the players established by Carlo Ancelotti.
The striker has just returned from a hamstring injury which has deprived him of Real Madrid's last three games.
He participated in all of Monday's training after going to a press conference, where he left some doubt about his presence: “I do everything for the team, he said.
If I have to force a little, I will.
But you don't have to force to hurt me.
I will see with my feelings.
“Ancelotti therefore considered that Benzema was able to start the meeting, just like Mendy, also recovered from a discomfort in the ischio.
They will play under the watchful eye of coach Didier Deschamps, present at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
The third Frenchman Eduardo Camavinga will start on the substitutes' bench.
