Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed they will be without Zlatan
Ibrahimovic for the next six weeks.
The Sweden star, 31, suffered an abdominal injury in the 2-0 win over
Bastia in Ligue 1 on Saturday and the length of his absence means he
could miss his side's next five league fixtures.
PSG released a statement on Monday documenting the specific nature of
the problem, while also revealing defender Gregory van der Wiel is set
for a spell on the sidelines.
It read: "Zlatan Ibrahimovic suffered a partial avulsion of the left
oblique muscle under the 12th rib and will not play again for some
time. His absence is estimated at approximately six weeks."
"Gregory van der Wiel suffered a fracture of the right transverse
process of the second lumbar vertebra."
The Ligue 1 champions didn't reveal the length of time the defender
will be out for, but reports claim he is only expected to be
unavailable for the next 10 days.
Meanwhile, midfielder Thiago Motta will miss the clash with Evian
after sustaining a broken nose after being headbutted by Bastia
striker Brandao on Saturday.
He is expected to make a swift return to action and could even wear a
mask similar to that worn by Thiago Silva last season as he recovered
from a facial injury.
