Paris Saint-Germain will be without Joao Neves for the UEFA Super Cup showdown against Tottenham tonight.
Neves was sent-off in PSG's last competitive outing - the Club World Cup final defeat to Chelsea - for violent conduct as he pulled Marc Cucurella's hair.
As a result, the Portugal international is suspended for the meeting between last season's Champions League and Europa League winners.
Warren Zaire-Emery is in line replace Neves, thus joining 2025 Ballon d'Or nominees Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz in midfield.
PSG boss Luis Enrique, who will be on the touchline despite his altercation with Joao Pedro last month, is set to hand summer signing Lucas Chevalier a debut in between the posts. Gianluigi Donnarumma has not been named in the 20-man travelling squad.
In a massive boost for the champions of Europe, Willian Pacho is available again after serving a ban and is expected to partner club captain Marquinhos in central defence with Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes at full-back.

Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele are likely to get the nod in attack once again which means the likes of Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos will have to settle for a place on the bench.
Senny Mayulu, a scorer in the Champions League final thrashing over Inter Milan, is suffering from muscular discomfort and has been left out of the squad as a precaution, while new addition Illia Zabarnyi has travelled but is not on the squad list.
Predicted PSG XI: Chevalier; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Fabian; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
Injured: Senny Mayulu
Suspended: Joao Neves
Ineligible: Illia Zabarnyi
Time and date: 8pm BST tonight, Wednesday, August 13, 2025
