While PSG prepares to host Newcastle this Tuesday, in the group stage of the Champions League, Ethan Mbappé will be part of the Parisian group. A first for him in C1.

Since the start of the season, the role of the Mbappé brothers has been the same on European Cup evenings. Thus, a few hours before Kylian Mbappé entered the track with the first team of the Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, his little brother Ethan is on deck for the Youth League. But Tuesday evening, during the Newcastle reception (9 p.m., 5th day of C1), the two brothers will be part of the same group.

According to The TeamEthan Mbappé is therefore preparing to make his very first appearance in the group concocted by Luis Enrique for this meeting against the Magpies. Unprecedented for the young midfielder who has already been called up three times in Ligue 1 by the Spanish coach this season, without having come into play until then. This evening at the Parc des Princes, he should not play either. Unless Luis Enrique offers him another great first with a few minutes of play.

A remodeled environment

If the youngest of the Mbappé brothers should be present in the Parisian group, it is in particular because the midfield sector is cut short by the injury absence of Warren Zaire-Emery. The latter should be replaced by Fabian Ruiz, who will play alongside Manuel Ugarte and Vitinha on a three-way line.
