Weah's son earns first PSG chance with Mbappe, Neymar & Cavani missing

Paris Saint-Germain have handed George Weah's teenage son Timothy his first call-up to a senior squad, with a host of star names missing Saturday's Ligue 1 game at Troyes.

Kylian Mbappe, Javier Pastore and Marco Verratti have all been omitted, handing Weah, 18, the chance to impress.

PSG coach Unai Emery will be hoping Mbappe, in particular, is fit for Tuesday's crunch Champions League return against Real Madrid with his side 3-1 down from the first leg in Spain.

With Neymar also sidelined for up to three months, Emery has taken no chances with the third member of his usual 'MCN' attacking trident as Edinson Cavani - the club's all-time record goalscorer - has been rested for the Troyes game.
