- Story Text: PSG's Neymar and Kylian Mbappe trained on Tuesday (November 27) ahead of their must-win match with Liverpool.
The world's most expensive players had both picked up injuries while on international duty with Brazil and France respectively and had been a doubt for the key Champions League match.
The Parisians currently sit in third place in Group C, one point behind group leaders Napoli and Liverpool in second and could face shock elimination should they lose to Jurgen Klopp's men and Napoli were to beat group minnows Red Star Belgrade.
Neymar had sustained a groin injury in Brazil's 1-0 win over Cameroon while Mbappe suffered a shoulder injury after clashing with Uruguay goalkeeper Martin Campana in the world champion's 1-0 win over the South Americans.
The Ligue 1 champions come into the game off the back of a hard-fought 1-0 win over Toulouse while Liverpool continued their fine Premier League form with a 3-0 win over Watford on Saturday (November 24).
PSG are expected to have a fully fit squad for the tie while Liverpool will be without long-term absentees Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adam Lallana. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
