PSG name squad for Le Classique amid Ballon d'Or conflict: Dembele NOT included

The match between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille, which was postponed on Sunday due to a severe weather warning for heavy rain, has been rescheduled for this Monday, September 22nd at 20:00.

The new date coincides with the 2025 Ballon d'Or gala, which officially begins at 21:00 CET in Paris, creating an unprecedented scheduling conflict for the Parisian club.

PSG have published their official squad list for the match, with Joao Neves, Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Bradley Barcola all absent through injury or a technical decision.

This is particularly relevant given that several of PSG's players, including several nominees for the Ballon d'Or, will be attending the ceremony instead of joining their teammates in Marseille.

PSG coach Luis Enrique is also nominated for best coach, and if he wins the award, the Spanish boss will get the news at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille.

This is the complete list of PSG players for the match against Marseille:

Hakimi, Beraldo, Marquinhos, Zabarnyi, Kvaratskhelia, Fabian Ruiz, Goncalo Ramos, Vitinha, Lee Kang-In, Lucas Hernandez, Mayulu, Nuno Mendes, Chevalier, Zaire-Emery, Safonov, Kamara, Mbaye, Pacho, Renato Marin.
