Paris Saint-Germain 'will still have strong line-up' for Kitchee game
Club boss Ken Ng Kin insists the weakened squad will not affect ticket sales, saying PSG still have a wonderful line-up for fans
Organisers are confident French champions Paris Saint-Germain will pull in the crowds for their match against Kitchee despite the likely absence of their World Cup players.
The Ligue 1 winners have 10 internationals on their books and if their national teams progress beyond the group stages of the tournament in Brazil they will not be available for the exhibition match at Hong Kong Stadium on July 29 against the current domestic champions.
There are still many other good players in PSG's star-studded line-up and these are all big names to true soccer fans
But Ken Ng Kin, president of Kitchee Sports Management, was not worried about the weakened squad, saying PSG still had a wonderful line-up for the fans.
"Some World Cup players from a couple of nations could still be available, depending on how their teams finish in Brazil," said Ng.
"In any case, there are still many other good players in PSG's star-studded line-up and these are all big names to true soccer fans.
"Also, should PSG sign any new player before the tour, these players would also come to Hong Kong."
