To build on its great victory against Manchester City (2-0) and consolidate its status of terror, Paris Saint-Germain must beat RB Leipzig on Tuesday evening.

But the Parisian coach finds himself deprived of key players for this meeting, between injuries, suspension and marital crisis. 

The third day of the Champions League begins this Tuesday evening.

In Group A, PSG welcomes Leipzig at 9:00 p.m. at the Parc des Princes.

Paris leads their group with 4 points, one more than Manchester City and Brugge, while Leipzig have lost their first two matches.

But Paris Saint-Germain will be deprived of several important elements this Tuesday evening to face the German team.

Starting with Neymar.

The Brazilian returned from selection on Friday with a groin injury.

However, he had participated at the start of training on Monday morning.

But it was then that things turned sour, as coach Mauricio Pochettino explained.

"The priority is the health of the players and in this case, that of Neymar. He felt discomfort and that prevented him from doing the last part of the training, namely the setting up. The medical staff then decided he was not in a position to be in the squad to face Leipzig, "he said.

Paris without Neymar, without Di Maria, who is serving his third and last suspension match, without Paredes also injured during the international break.

And to this is added the melodrama Icardi, which appears in the great days on social networks.

The Argentine striker, plagued by relationship problems with his wife and agent Wanda Nara, has missed the last two training sessions to try to win her back in Milan. 

The atmosphere is therefore not very healthy around this Paris Saint-Germain, a few hours from a Champions League match which could allow it to increase its lead at the top of Group A.
