INJURY SIDELINES PAULETA

Pedro Pauleta has been ruled out of Paris St Germain's next two games but could be fit for the Coupe de la Ligue final against Lens on March 29.

The former Portugal striker sustained a thigh strain in Saturday's Ligue 1 match against Valenciennes.

After receiving the results of an MRI scan on Monday, PSG have revealed Pauleta requires 10 days of medical treatment.

He will miss Tuesday's Coupe de France last-16 tie with Bastia and Sunday's Ligue 1 match at Lyon, but may be ready to return for the Coupe de France final at the Stade de France on Saturday week.

Pauleta is set to leave PSG at the end of the season, and the cup final will be his final chance to pick up silverware for the club where he has spent the last five years.
