Already deprived of Kylian Mbappé, Paris Saint-Germain will also start the Ligue 1 season without Mauro Icardi.
The Argentinian striker, from whom the capital club wants to part ways this summer, is however not injured.
Neither voluntarily excluded from the group of 21 Parisians summoned by Christophe Galtier to challenge Clermont on his lawn Saturday evening (9 p.m.) for the resumption of the Championship.

L'Equipe assures in its edition of the day that the 29-year-old striker, who participated in his club's summer tour of Japan in July but did not enter during the Champions Trophy against Nantes (4-0 victory), was not retained so that he could settle private matters.

New separation with Wanda Nara?
An air of deja vu for Mauro Icardi, who had already been widely noticed last season for a similar reason.
Pained by his separation from his wife Wanda Nara, a recognized public figure and widely followed on social networks, the former Inter Milan striker had missed several days of training last October.
He even had to give up participating in a Champions League meeting, PSG then justifying his absence against RB Leipzig by “psychological discomfort”.
Icardi and his wife ended up getting back together.
In recent days, the Argentine press has reported a new request for divorce from Wanda Nara, information denied by the player on his social networks.
His absence, Saturday in Clermont, would it be due to a new episode of the soap opera in love?
