Paris Saint-Germain seek to continue their perfect start to the new Ligue 1 season with a trip to Reims on Sunday night.
Lionel Messi has made Mauricio Pochettino’s 22-man squad for the first time since his summer move. The Barcelona icon, therefore, could make his long-awaited debut. Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are also available, meaning PSG’s star trio could play together at last.
Reims, though, have started the season unbeaten after drawing each of their three games. The hosts have proved a challenging opponent in the past, but they are yet to hit their stride under new manager Oscar Garcia.
