Already deprived of Kylian Mbappé, Paris Saint-Germain will also start the Ligue 1 season without Mauro Icardi. The Argentinian striker, from whom the capital club wants to part ways this summer, is however not injured. Neither voluntarily excluded from the group of 21 Parisians summoned by Christophe Galtier to challenge Clermont on his lawn on Saturday August 6 (9 p.m.) for the resumption of the championship.
