Verratti has been on the sidelines since the middle of February and had long been considered an injury worry prior to the clash, while Pastore misses out with a calf issue that saw him miss Argentina’s recent World Cup qualifiers.
On the other hand, Angel Di Maria has returned to the unit after being overlooked for the weekend’s 4-1 victory over Nice following a knock he picked up with the Albiceleste. Blanc confirmed that the former Manchester United man has trained on each of the last three days and is at full fitness.



Otherwise, PSG boss Laurent Blanc boasts a full squad for the encounter and has chosen to include right-back Serge Aurier in his panel for the first time since the Ivory Coast international insulted his team-mates and coach during a live Periscope chat in February.
PSG squad to face Manchester City: Trapp, Sirigu; Aurier, David Luiz, Kurzawa, Marquinhos, Maxwell, Thiago Silva, Van der Wiel; Di Maria, Lucas, Matuidi, Nkunku, Rabiot, Stambouli, Thiago Motta; Augustin, Cavani, Ibrahimovic
