Overview
- PSG announced a 24-player group for the UEFA Super Cup that coach Luis Enrique revealed Tuesday for the match in Salzburg against Aston Villa.
- All returning World Cup internationals are included in the list, with starters such as Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Lucas Hernandez and Warren Zaïre-Emery selected.
- Summer signings Maghnes Akliouche and Lucas Digne make the squad and Italian goalkeeper Alessandro Longoni is named as the third-choice keeper.
- Most academy Titis who featured in preseason were left out of the group while younger players Dro Fernández, Senny Mayulu, Ibrahim Mbaye and Quentin Ndjantou were retained.
- The quick turnaround to the Trophée des Champions on August 16 in Lens and the Ligue 1 opener on August 23 at home to Rennes helps explain the coach’s preference for experience and freshly returned internationals.
