PSG team news
The golden trio of Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar are all fit and look set to start up front together. The new manager Christophe Galtier has a number of options and may rotate his squad to view more players.
Galtier is trying to come up with a system that gets the most out of his front three and is developing a 3-4-1-2 formation: “We are playing in a new system, a 3-4-1-2 formation, so we have to assimilate. We had a lot of imbalances and conceded too many situations on our goal. It’s a big work axis for the weeks to come, we want to be able to have a lot of people offensively but at the same time keep the right balance.”
Urawa Reds team news
The Japanese side are expected to use a number of their squad as this game comes sandwiched between a difficult period of J League fixtures. Kasper Junker and Tomoya Inukai are both expected to miss out with injuries.
