PARIS, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edison Cavani will not feature in Paris Saint-Germain's roster for the 2018 Asia Tour in Singapore and China due to recovery from their international duties at the FIFA World Cup.

Ligue 1 champions unveiled a 24-member squad before heading to Singapore on Tuesday afternoon, featuring Italian veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who joined PSG during the off-season.

Other prominent names in the roster included Lassana Diarra, Layvin Kurzawa, Adrien Rabiot and Marco Verratti.

Julian Draxler, Kevin Trapp and Giovani Lo Celso, coming back from the vacation after the World Cup, were also included in the squad.

Another outstanding absentee in the list was Argentine winger Angel Di Maria.

PSG said that Goncalo Guedes and Jese will train at the Ooredoo Training Center, and Grzegorz Krychowiak has been granted permission to stay in Paris, which was interpreted as a signal of possible future transfer for the three.

PSG will put on two International Champions Cup matches in Singapore, against Premier League side Arsenal coached by Unai Emery, PSG's head coach last term, and UEFA Europa League defending champions Atletico Madrid, before heading to China, where they will play against Monaco in French Super Cup in Shenzhen on August 4.
