Boost for PSG as both Mbappe & Verratti named in travelling squad for Atalanta Champions League tie

Paris Saint-Germain have been handed a boost as both Kylian Mbappe and Marco Verratti have been named in the travelling squad for their upcoming Champions League tie against Atalanta.

PSG have been sweating on Mbappe's fitness since seeing the forward sidelined with an ankle sprain during last week's Coupe de France triumph over Saint-Etienne.

The World Cup winner was initially ruled out for three weeks, and Thomas Tuchel was not optimistic of a prized asset making a full recovery in time for the trip to Lisbon before a friendly win against Sochaux on Wednesday.
