PSG are fine-tuning preparations for the UEFA Super Cup… but Ousmane Dembélé remains sidelined. The 28-year-old winger missed Sunday’s training session due to a viral infection, according to L’Équipe. His return to full training is expected early this week, with the goal of being fit for Wednesday’s clash in Udine. The outlook is positive, but his inclusion against Tottenham is not yet guaranteed.
No Neves… and question marks in goal
Luis Enrique will be without João Neves, suspended after his red card in the Club World Cup final against Chelsea. In goal, uncertainty remains: Donnarumma is still present, but incoming signing Lucas Chevalier (€40m including bonuses) could soon take over the No. 1 spot.
Injury-hit Spurs
Tottenham arrive with a depleted squad: Maddison, Kulusevski, Dragusin, Udogie, Gil, Solomon, and youngster Takai are all out. Star forward Heung-min Son has already departed for Los Angeles FC. Solanke is doubtful, but new signing João Palhinha is expected to start.
Probable line-ups – PSG vs Tottenham
14 August – Udine
PSG: Chevalier or Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes – Vitinha, Ruiz, Zaire-Emery – Doué, Dembélé or Ramos, Kvaratskhelia
Tottenham: Vicario – Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence – Palhinha, Bentancur – Kudus, Bergvall, Odobert – Tel or Solanke
