Team news
Lionel Messi isn’t expected to play any part and hasn’t yet been able to train properly since his Copa America win with Argentina.
“I don’t know yet when I’ll be able to play. I’m just back from holiday and I did pre-season on my own, with no real training sessions for a month,” he said.
“I’m going to start training very soon, and the coaching staff will be able to decide when I’m fit to start playing.”
Fellow new signing Gini Wijnaldum is expected to start in midfield, however, for PSG.
Odds
- PSG win – 2/9
- Draw – 6/1
- Strasbourg win – 11/1
