❌ Joao Neves, PSG’s big absentee for the trip to Sporting CP | OneFootball

Luis Enrique has officially revealed the list of players called up by Paris Saint-Germain for the crucial clash this Tuesday in the Champions League.

The Parisian side travels to Lisbon to face Sporting Clube de Portugal at the Estádio José Alvalade, a duel that promises to be decisive for the European aspirations of both teams in this group stage.

The big negative news for French interests is the confirmed absence of Joao Neves. The young Portuguese midfielder, who was returning to his homeland for this match, has been left out of the squad due to last-minute physical problems.

Despite this key absence, the squad features the return and presence of key figures. Leading the delegation are captains like Marquinhos and offensive stars such as Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, and Gonçalo Ramos, who will also experience a special match on Portuguese soil. The inclusion of names like Kvaratskhelia and Vitinha ensures that PSG will maintain a top-level competitive midfield.

The Asturian coach has had to adjust his tactics to make up for the lack of balance provided by Neves. Players like Fabián Ruiz or Warren Zaïre-Emery are expected to step up to control the pace of the match against a Sporting side that is extremely solid at home.

The list is rounded out by young talents such as Mayulu and Doué, who could get minutes depending on how the game unfolds.
