Dutchman Van der Wiel has already missed two games, against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League and versus St Etienne in Ligue 1, with a knee injury.

"He is still recuperating," Blanc told a news conference on Thursday.

However, PSG can count on midfielder Yohan Cabaye who has recovered after sustaining back pains in the St Etienne game.
