Keylor Navas is back for Paris Saint-Germain's goal to face RB Leipzig, where Portuguese André Silva accompanies Christopher Nkunku in attack on Tuesday (8:45 p.m.) for the 3rd day of the Champions League.
Injured with Costa Rica, Navas missed the match against Angers (2-1 victory) on Friday, where Gianluigi Donnarumma played, but regained his place in goal.
In the absence of Neymar, slightly affected in the adductors, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé are accompanied by the German Julian Draxler in attack.
Argentinian Mauro Icardi, who has not trained for the last two days for family reasons, is not in the squad.
In defense, coach Mauricio Pochettino aligns very offensive side, Moroccan Achraf Hakimi on the right and Portuguese Nuno Mendes on the left.
On the Leipzig side, André Silva occupies the forefront of the attack rather than the Dane Yussuf Poulsen, helped by Nkunku, trained at PSG.
With Nkunku, Mohamed Simakan and Nordi Mukiele, three French players are in the starting XI.
Usual leader, the Swede Emil Forsberg, hampered in one thigh, starts on the bench.
