On Saturday, PSG go toe to toe with Troyes in Ligue 1. With a league-defining game against Real Madrid just around the corner, Unai Emery is taking no risks with his squad selection.

PSG announced the squad that will travel to Troyes on their official website and neither Edinson Cavani nor Kylian Mbappe will be making the journey

After Neymar picked up a season-ending injury in a mid-week 'Classique,' Unai Emery is making sure the two other key men in his attacking trident are at full fitness for Tuesday's Champions League fixture.

Other notable absentees are centre-back Marquinhos and midfielder Marco Verratti who will also get to put their feet up. 

After impressing with the reserves, Timothy Weah, son of PSG icon and current president of Liberia George Weah, has been named in Emery's squad. The Spaniard will be hoping the starlet can shine and rise to the heights his father reached with the Parisian heavyweights.
