Angel Di Maria is likely to replace the injured Neymar as PSG look to
overturn a 3-1 deficit in their Champions League last-16 second leg
against Real Madrid.
The world's most expensive player had an operation on Saturday in
Belo Horizonte on a small fracture to a metatarsal in his right foot and
is now recovering with the aim of being back towards the end of the
season.
Di Maria is likely to start for PSG against his former club, alongside
Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani in a front three at the Parc des
Princes.
"When one player is missing, it opens the door for someone else, and
I know that whoever comes in through that door will do so with all
their force," said PSG manager Unai Emery.
Real, 15 points off leaders Barcelona in La Liga, have rested the likes
of Cristiano Ronaldo in recent weeks ahead of the Champions League
clash, as they look to retain their title for a second time.
Zinedine Zidane's side are looking to become the first team since
Bayern Munich (1974 to 1976) to win Europe's elite competition for
three years on the trot.
