PSG executives Neymar, Angel Di Maria, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Mauro Icardi, Thilo Kehrer, Presnel Kimpembe or Marco Verratti were left to rest for the friendly match against Sochaux on Wednesday (7 p.m.), last rehearsal before the Champions League , announced the club.

Parisian coach Thomas Tuchel has summoned a group of 22 players for this final preparation match at the Parc des Princes, which does not include injured Kylian Mbappé and Layvin Kurzawa.

This closed-door match "in order to prepare the players for the context" of the "Final 8" of the C1, which will begin on August 12 in Lisbon with a quarter-final of PSG against Atalanta Bergamo, will be used to give playing time and rhythm to the least used elements since the recovery.
