Thomas Tuchel provides triple injury update ahead of Liverpool tie

Kylian Mbappe and Neymar are both expected to be fit to face Liverpool when the Reds fly to France on Wednesday in the penultimate group stage game of the 2018/19 Champions League group stage.

On Saturday, PSG beat Toulouse 1-0 in Ligue 1 to ensure they maintained their 100% record in the league, winning 14 games from 14 and maintaining their 15 point lead at the top.

Meanwhile, Liverpool extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 13 games as Watford fell to a 3-0 defeat at Vicarage Road courtesy of goals from Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Roberto Firmino.

PSG will host Liverpool on Wednesday and despite suffering respective injuries during the international break, both Kylian Mbappe and Neymar are expected to make a return from injury in time to face the Reds.

“I am more optimistic than yesterday [Friday] about Ney and Kylian,” he told a news conference. “They will be able to train on Monday.

“In theory [Alves] would not play on Wednesday as he has just returned from injury. But if you asked him, he would tell you, ‘Yes’.

“He has returned to the team and he could play a match of that level against Liverpool.”
