PARIS – Paris Saint-Germain's pursuit of a fifth successive French Cup title will be bolstered by the return of Neymar and Edinson Cavani from long-term injuries for Saturday's showdown with Rennes at the Stade de France. We have to win on Saturday," said Tuchel, who is also set to welcome back Angel Di Maria after six weeks out. "The French Cup is very important to us, and we hope to clinch it and leave nothing for the others," added goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, his thoughts echoed by defender Marquinhos. Anything less than a domestic double for PSG, attempting to lift the French Cup for a record 13th time, would cast further gloom over the Qatari-backed club after their latest European failure. PSG beat Rennes 3-1 at Roazhon Park and won 4-1 at the Parc des Princes, but Rennes will look for the ultimate revenge as they chase a first French Cup in 48 years.
