PARIS, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- Paris Saint-Germain head coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed Tuesday that his star duo of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe would start in Wednesday's Champions League clash with Liverpool.

"No problem. They will start tomorrow," Tuchel told a pre-match news conference at the Parc des Princes.

"Neymar and Kylian are fit. They are good and did the full training today and yesterday," the German added.

Both Neymar and Mbappe came off injured on international duty last week. Further medical examinations showed that Neymar sustained a right adductor strain, while Mbappe suffered from a bruised right shoulder.

The world's two most expensive players sat out in a 1-0 league win over Toulouse last Saturday, witnessing the team's record-extending 14th straight victory to start the campaign from the stand.

With five points, PSG are placed third in Group C of Champions League, trailing one point down from Napoli and Liverpool with two matches remaining.
