Injury and Team News

PSG have everyone fit bar young right back Timothee Pembele. Sergio Ramos, Neymar, Nuno Mendes and Renato Sanches all came off the bench in the win over Nantes last time around and will be looking to walk back into the starting lineup for the Champions League opening game. Keylor Navas is also likely to start ahead of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

While Juventus on the other hand, have a lot of injury issues. The club could be without the likes of Paul Pogba, Adrien Rabiot, Wojciech Szczesny, Marley Ake, Kaio Jorge and Federico Chiesa ahead of the clash. Mattia Perin will likely keep his place in goal, with Leonardo Bonucci returning to the heart of the defence.

Players To Watch

Neymar

The Brazilian has had his critics over the years. But, the PSG star has started the 2022-23 season in brilliant fashion. He has recorded nine goals and provided six assists in just seven Ligue 1 appearances this season. Neymar has made the difference for his side and could very well be the player Juventus' defenders have to look out for.

Ángel Di María

Di María joined Juventus on a free transfer from PSG this summer. The Argentine winger makes his return to the Parc des Princes tomorrow. The last time Di Maria faced one his former sides in the Champions League, he dropped a Man of the Match performance against Manchester United at Old Trafford. He could be Juventus' best bet at walking away with something from the clash.

Navas; Ramos, Marquinhos, Kimpembe; Hakimi, Sanches, Verratti, Bernat; Messi, Mbappe, Neymar

Juventus predicted lineup: 

Perin; Danilo, Bonucci, Bremer, Sandro; Locatelli, Paredes, McKennie; Di María, Vlahovic, Kostic
