On Thursday, PSG released its squad list for the Coupe de France. According to that list, Lionel Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Akraf Hakimi will not feature in the tournament.
Messi recently returned from his post-World Cup holiday, while Mbappe and Hakimi are currently out of the squad.
On the other hand, PSG manager Christophe Galtier announced during his pre-match press conference on Thursday that Neymar will not be able to play against Chateauroux as he is undergoing treatment for his sprained ankle.
Also, Nuno Mendes, Renato Sanchez and Presnel Kimbembe will also miss the match due to injuries.
Gianluigi Donnarumma was not included in the PSG squad for the match. Galtier noted that Geller Navas will be the starting goalkeeper against Chateauroux on Thursday.

Finally, Marco Verratti will be sidelined for this French Cup match due to a yellow card suspension.
PSG will certainly be looking to bounce back from their recent Ligue 1 away loss to RC Lens.
