The PSG boss says his stars are ready for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Liverpool after suffering injuries during the international break

Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are 100 percent and ready to face Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday, according to Paris Saint-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel.

The pair both sustained an injury during the international break for their respective countries, leaving their status for the big clash at the Parc des Princes in doubt.

However, the pair returned to training Monday, and now Tuchel has confirmed the pair are set to feature in the key Group C contest.

"Neymar is 100 per cent and Mbappe as well," Tuchel said. "They are fit. They trained today and yesterday, and they will line up tomorrow."

When asked if the pair could be in any danger of aggravating their injuries, Tuchel said there was "no risk" involved in the duo playing.  

"Fear? No I don't fear anything, but I definitely feel the pressure in every match," Tuchel said. "This match is even more special. It's very important, tomorrow is definitely going to be decisive and I feel the pressure inside me. But it's my pressure, not reflecting on the players.

"There is a possibility that we don't win. It's very important tomorrow that we think about winning. The focus is about winning and what we should do to win. It's very important that we play together, and do not lose focus. Bigger the game, bigger the pressure.

"The more pressure you have, the less information you should give. We have to be relaxed. Nobody can control the result, and no matter what the result is tomorrow, the sun will shine the day after and we will get out of bed and go to work."
