Paris Saint-Germain's injury problems worsened on Saturday as forwards Mauro Icardi and Pablo Sarabia were ruled out of Sunday's Ligue 1 game at Lyon.

Star striker Kylian Mbappe has also failed to recover from a thigh injury suffered in August, leaving PSG coach Thomas Tuchel without five attacking players, with Edinson Cavani and Julian Draxler also still sidelined.

"It's still too risky (to play Mbappe)," said Tuchel.

"He's very close (to playing again), but it (his recovery) is not over."
"We have to do the same things as against Real, but it's not easy. It's the challenge of playing with the same spirit, the same intensity."
