PSG: Neither Edison Cavani, Kylian Mbappé nor Neymar are expected to play in the match, and that could be extended to the other players in the PSG squad who went deep into the World Cup knockout phases. Youngsters such as Christopher Nkunku and Timothy Weah will likely start in their place.
Monaco: Monaco have taken a squad of 22 players to China, but that does not include Danijel Subašić, Djibril Sidibé or Aleksandr Golovin. Radamel Falcao will join up with the team on Friday but it is unknown if he will play any part in the match.
Tuchel: It's very important. Thiago [Silva] arrived first. I will not take any chances with them [returning players]; it is my duty to take care of them. I must be very careful with them. I have an idea of what [team] I want to face Monaco, but I will not tell you. I will talk with the players. I have to take into account the training this afternoon [Friday], but also their journey, jet lag and also the quality of their sleep. They are able to play, but I do not know how long for.
Jardim: Our project here aims to turn young players into great players. For many, they will need two or three years to get to a high level. This is the path already trodden by Bernardo Silva, Anthony Martial and Kylian Mbappe. The team will be different to our other preseason games. It's difficult to compare with last year. Each year brings a new challenge with new players, new mentalities and the goal to show off our style of play. I am excited for it.
