Soccer-Thiago Silva to make PSG debut against Dynamo Kyiv
PARIS, Sept 13 (Reuters) – Thiago Silva will make his debut
for Paris St Germain when the French club host Dynamo Kyiv in
their opening Champions League group game on Tuesday, coach
Carlo Ancelotti has said.
PSG signed the centre back from AC Milan for an estimated 47
million euros ($60.66 million) including add-ons in July, but
the Brazilian had to recover from a thigh injury he suffered at
the Olympic Games.
“Thiago is ready,” Ancelotti told a news conference on
Thursday on the eve of the Ligue 1 game against Toulouse, which
Silva will miss.
“He is currently training apart. He will start working with
the team on Saturday and we will count on him against Kyiv.”
PSG and Kyiv have been drawn in Champions League Group A
with FC Porto and Dinamo Zagreb.
