Luis Enrique called up a squad of 21 players for Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League playoff first leg at Monaco on Tuesday night. A squad with the same absentees as against Rennes on Friday.
Lightly injured that night, Ousmane Dembele and Joao Neves are indeed making the trip to the Principality.
This was the big question of the last few hours. Would Ousmane Dembele, who felt minor discomfort at Rennes, and Joao Neves, who injured his shoulder during that match, be available Tuesday night to take on AS Monaco in the Champions League playoff first leg?
The answer is yes, as both of Luis Enrique's key players are part of the 21-man squad communicated on Monday by PSG on the eve of the match.
As expected, only three absentees are to be noted. They are Quentin Ndjantou, who recently underwent thigh surgery and is expected to be out several months, Fabian Ruiz, who is recovering from the knee blow he received against Sporting CP on Jan. 20, and Senny Mayulu, who felt calf discomfort last week, between the 5-0 win against Marseille and the 3-1 loss at Rennes.
For the rest, no surprises, Dro is indeed there, as are Ibrahim Mbaye and Renato Marin.
PSG's squad against Monaco in the Champions League:
PSG's predicted lineup vs. Monaco: Safonov; Hakimi, Marquinhos (c), Pacho, Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves; Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Barcola.
