Benzema named in Real Madrid squad against PSG

On Sunday, Benzema’s name appeared on the squad list against PSG and he was spotted finally training with the group. The squad will travel to Paris on Monday and will head to training at the PSG grounds late in the day.

Real Madrid need a positive result from the match on Tuesday, after a dip in form that has gripped them in the past several weeks. Their lead at the top of the La Liga table is now down to just four points over Sevilla, and after having been eliminated from the Copa del Rey, they want to stay in the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain for their part, are sixteen points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 table over Marseille. They have the momentum as well as home court advantage for the first leg, but they have some injury troubles of their own.

Neymar Jr. and former Real Madrid players Sergio Ramos and Angel di Maria are in doubt for the big clash.

Real Madrid squad list against PSG:

Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois, Andriy Lunin, Toni Fuidias

Defenders: Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Jesus Vallejo, Nacho, Marcelo, Ferland Mendy.
