UEFA Super Cup: Vicario starts and Donnarumma snubbed in PSG vs. Tottenham

It was going to be the battle of the Italian goalkeepers, but only Vicario gets to feature on Italian soil this evening, because PSG left Donnarumma at home.

This is their latest heavy-handed gesture to push him out of the squad and avoid letting him leave as a free agent at the end of the season.

His replacement, Lucas Chevalier, is thrown straight into the mix for his Parisian debut.

Former Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia also starts for PSG, but Joao Neves is suspended and Nordi Mukiele injured.

Meanwhile, Vicario is not joined by fellow Italy international Destiny Udogie, who is currently out injured along with James Maddison and Radu Dragusin.

PSG vs. Tottenham line-ups

PSG: Chevalier; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Desiré Doué; Barcola, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia

Tottenham: Vicario; Pedro Porro, Romero, Danso, Van de Ven; Joao Palhinha, Bentancur, P Sarr; Kudus, Richarlison, Spence
