Neymar, Mbappe will start critical Liverpool clash
Paris Saint-Germain's chances of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stage for the seventh season on the spin have been handed a massive boost.
The runaway Ligue 1 leaders will start both Neymar and Kylian Mbappe when they welcome Liverpool to the Parc des Princes in Wednesday's crucial Group C match-up after manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed both have recovered from injuries.

Neymar and Mbappe returned to first-team training Tuesday after being injured on international duty and ruled out for the club's weekend win over Toulouse.
PSG currently sit third in the group on five points, one back of Liverpool and Napoli with two matches to play in the quartet. Tuchel's charges were poor in the 3-2 defeat at Anfield on Sept. 9. The capital club have not lost since with 10 victories and two draws in their last dozen in all competitions, outscoring opponents 38-7 over that stretch.
