Paris Saint-Germain are without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Angel Di Maria and Marco Verratti for Friday's Ligue 1 game against Montpellier.

Di Maria is still to make his debut for his new side following his move from Manchester United as he continues to struggle with a hamstring injury, while Ibrahimovic is recovering from a knee problem.

Laurent Blanc had suggested in his pre-match press conference that the Argentine could be included in the squad, but he has since been left out of the panel that will travel to Montpellier.

While Blanc will be happy to welcome centre-back Marquinhos back to the side, he will be disappointed that Verratti has picked up a hip injury, while Gregory van der Wiel is also one of those absent from the group.

Meanwhile, Lucas Digne has also been left out, which Blanc had already confirmed as the defender looks to complete a move to Roma before the end of the transfer window.
