Paris Saint-Germain is set to compete against Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup, seeking its second consecutive win in the tournament. The match will take place at Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria, with the referee being Omar Artan, who was previously barred by the United States from officiating at the World Cup due to vetting concerns.
Team Preparations
Aston Villa will be without new signing Johan Manzambi due to a knee injury, while key players Emi Martinez, Ollie Watkins, and Ezri Konsa won’t play as they haven’t returned to full training after the World Cup. PSG coach Luis Enrique must decide whether to include France internationals Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, and Bradley Barcola, as well as Spain’s World Cup-winning midfielder Fabián Ruiz, who only returned to training on Monday.
