Angel Di Maria and Marco Verratti will be available for Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League clash against Barcelona, the Ligue 1 club said Friday after clearing them to return in the French Cup this weekend.

Di Maria has missed the past month with a thigh injury while a foot problem sidelined Verratti for PSG’s last two games in Ligue 1.

However, the pair are fit for Saturday’s last-32 tie away to Brest.

SPONSOR AD

Neymar remains unavailable having been ruled out of the 4-1 victory over Barca at the Camp Nou on February 16 with a groin injury.

The Brazilian is still working his way back to fitness and only took part in a portion of Friday’s team training session.

He is unlikely to feature against his former club in the last 16 return leg at the Parc des Princes next Wednesday. (AFP)
