Laurent Blanc will make a late decision on Angel Di Maria's
availability for Paris Saint-Germain's trip to Toulouse, but
Thiago Silva is out with a knee injury.
Di Maria drew praise from head coach Blanc for his role in
Wednesday's 2-1 win over Lyon in the Coupe de la Ligue
after coming off the bench.
However, the Argentina international hurt his foot in that
fixture and is now an injury doubt when the Ligue 1
champions travel to Stadium Municipal on Saturday.
"Di Maria received a big blow on his right foot and was
unable to train [on Thursday]," Blanc told reporters at his
pre-match press conference.
"We have to see how recovers."
While it remains to be seen if Di Maria is passed fit, Blanc
confirmed that centre-back Silva - who missed the Lyon
clash - is sidelined.
"Thiago Silva is out," he added. "He has not recovered from
his knee injury."
There was better news on Silva's defensive partner and
fellow Brazil international David Luiz, though, who had been
struggling with a back complaint.
"It is a little sore, but not too serious for David Luiz with
his back," Blanc concluded.
