Like last season, Paris Saint-Germain is once again forced to go through the Champions League play-offs. And once again, Paris faces a French club, this time AS Monaco (Tuesday, 9 p.m.), for a place in the round of 16 of the competition.
On the sidelines of this decisive trip to the Stade Louis II, the preparation for which was tumultuous with a defeat suffered at the Stade Rennais pitch (3-1) on Friday in Ligue 1, the club revealed the list of 21 players selected by Luis Enrique.
As expected, three absences (already noted against Rennes) are to be deplored. Senny Mayulu, victim of calf discomfort, remains in treatment. The same goes for Fabian Ruiz, still in rehabilitation due to a knee injury, and Quentin Ndjantou, who had surgery on his right hamstring.
Joao Neves and Ousmane Dembélé present for Monaco-PSG
There is also some good news to note for PSG supporters. Particularly concerning Ousmane Dembélé – whose threat of sanction after his controversial remarks loomed – and Joao Neves, both replaced in Brittany due to slight physical problems. The 2025 Ballon d’Or is on the list, as is the Portuguese midfielder despite his shoulder discomfort.
For the rest, the usual starters are present, as well as the young Dro Fernandez, surprise recruit during the winter transfer window, registered by the Spanish tactician with UEFA.
