By Sachin Bhat Modified 05 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share The Parisians welcome Bianconeri to Paris on Tuesday Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Christophe Galtier has revealed that Vitinha will be fit to play against Juventus in their Champions League opener on Wednesday (September 7). The midfielder was forced off inside 24 minutes of their Ligue 1 clash against Nantes on Saturday (September 3). He was at the end of a studs-up challenge from Fabio which got the latter sent off. It seemed like he was going to miss their opening European match of the season at Parc des Princes this week, but Galtier has now allayed all injury worries. PSG COMMUNITY@psgcommunity_Dégouté...

The Frenchman responded (via PSGhub): “Yes, Vitinha is capable of starting this #UCL game.” That spells good news for PSG, who're already without Timothee Pembele due to injury. Meanwhile, Mauro Icardi has been frozen out of the squad subject to a potential transfer to Turkish side Galatasaray. Neymar Jr. and Sergio Ramos came off the bench at the weekend and both could be reinstated back into the starting lineup to face Juventus.
