Neymar and Kylian Mbappe fit to start for PSG vs Liverpool
Tuesday 27 November 2018 18:48, UK
Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are both fit to start against Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain head coach Thomas Tuchel has confirmed.
The pair had been doubtful for the match after sustaining injuries while away on international duty, but returned to training on Tuesday.
Neymar suffered a right adductor strain playing for Brazil, while World Cup winner Mbappe picked up a "bruised shoulder" in action for France.
Both players watched from the stands as their team-mates beat Toulouse 1-0 in the French Ligue 1 on Saturday, but Tuchel says they are now ready to return to the starting line-up against Jurgen Klopp's side in Paris.
Wednesday's tie at the Parc des Princes is finely poised with one point separating PSG and Liverpool with just two games remaining.
PSG know a win on Wendesday will leave them needing just a point from their final group game against Red Star Belgrade to ensure qualification to the knockout phases of the Champions League.
