Thomas Tuchel: 'A great opportunity for the youngsters'

SQUAD
"There's no serious injuries. Julian Draxler will unfortunately be unavailable against Atletico. He felt a twinge in the last training session. Marco Verratti, Kevin Trapp and Layvin Kurzawa will train on Sunday afternoon. Perhaps we can give them a few minutes on the pitch."

RETURN
"Angel Di Maria will be able to train this afternoon. He already wants to play, and my role is to bring him in in the best conditions. Everyone's disappointed the stars are absent, people want to see them. But it's a great opportunity for the young players. We'll see day by day and work things out with the players who arrive."

RECRUITMENT OF A CENTRE-BACK
"We could talk for hours about the kind of centre-back I want...I have three top quality centre-backs, but what will happen if one is injured, another suspended, if we play with three at the back...We have to be ready for everything. We have to see, I'm not the kind of coach who asks for players. Everything is possible, but we already have three top quality central defenders and I have faith in them. I believe in Kimpembe, in Marquinhos and in Thiago Silva, our captain."

Gianluigi Buffon (Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper)
"I feel very good at Paris Saint-Germain. It was the right moment to start a new challenge. I'm still hungry for competition and trophies! I'm very happy to be here, I have a good feeling with the team and the coach. To have so many fans in Singapore makes me happy and proud. That's why I take the time to thank them."
