Argentinian forward, Angel Di Maria will miss the first leg
of Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League last 16 match at Barcelona, coach
Mauricio Pochettino said on Tuesday.
Di Maria suffered a thigh injury during the 2-0 Ligue 1 win
against Marseille on Sunday and “he will not be at the Camp Nou” for the game
on February 16, Pochettino said.
“Angel is an important player for us but we have a big squad
with players who can win matches for us,” the coach added.
Di Maria, the 32-year-old former Manchester United winger,
has been ever-present in the PSG lineup since Pochettino joined the club in
December, lining up alongside Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi in a
high-powered attack.
Despite the bad news about Di Maria, last year’s Champions
League finalists hope to be able to select first-choice goalkeeper Keylor
Navas, who is expected to return from a groin injury to resume training later
this week.
