"With Ney and Kylian, right now, the good thing is that it's not very, very serious," Tuchel told a news conference. "But we do not take risks for tomorrow.
"They will not play, but there is the possibility that they play against Liverpool, it's possible.

While PSG cannot afford to slip up in Europe, Tuchel is confident that he has a squad capable of dealing with the absence of two key men against Toulouse.
"I'm not going to say what we're going to do, but it's not the first time we've played without Neymar or Kylian and we've found solutions," he said. "It's our job to find solutions.
"We have a lot of top players - they have to show that they are ready."
Tuchel also has a decision to make in goal, where Gianluigi Buffon and Alphonse Areola continue to battle for the number one shirt.
"[The two goalkeepers] are completely different but at the same level," the coach said. "They have been great until now. We will continue with our plan until the winter break.
"I have to talk with Gigi and Alphonse and we have to wait to know who will be playing against Toulouse."
