When Neymar and Kylian Mbappe both left the field injured whilst playing for their respective national teams, there were some doubts about their availability for Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Liverpool.
However, the two most expensive players on the planet took part in full training with the rest of the Paris Saint-Germain squad on Monday and as such, both will be available to face the Reds.
With things looking very tight in Group C, a defeat in Paris would likely leave Liverpool needing to beat Napoli by two clear goals on matchday six to advance to the knockout stages.
A draw against Thomas Tuchel’s side would mean that any win on matchday six would put Liverpool into the knockouts.
However, such is the tightness in the group, if Jurgen Klopp’s men can pull off a famous victory, they’ll guarantee themselves a place in the Last 16 with a game to spare.
Having Neymar and Mbappe will be a huge boost for PSG, whilst Liverpool could be without Sadio Mane who is suffering from illness.
