Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are both fit to start against Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain head coach Thomas Tuchel has confirmed.

The pair had been doubtful for the match after sustaining injuries while away on international duty, but returned to training on Tuesday.
