and Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc says he
is not fit to face Real Madrid.
Paris Saint-Germain defender David Luiz will miss the clash
with Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday due
to a knee injury.
The Brazil international picked up the problem during his
country's 2018 World Cup qualifiers earlier this month and had
been battling to be fit for the key Group A encounter.
Head coach Laurent Blanc has now confirmed the 28-year-old
will not be ready for the game.
"Apart from David Luiz's absence, we'll have almost all the
squad," Blanc said on Tuesday.
"We'll have an almost complete squad for the game. We'll get
the players recovered."
Luiz's fellow centre-back Thiago Silva is confident PSG are a
better side than last season as they look to make it three wins
from three in the group so far.
"The first goal is to finish first in the group," he said. "If we win
tomorrow [Wednesday], we can go for the draw in Madrid.
"It'll be important to recover the ball as quickly as possible when
we lose it. That will be decisive.
"We're stronger this year than last year. We're playing better
and we started the season better.
"If we play as we usually do on the ball, we'll have a great
match."
