The head coach of Paris Saint-Germain Laurent Blanc confirmed that next week, PSG will be forced to play in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals against Barcelona without David Luiz and Thiago Motta. Center-back D. Luiz suffered an injury on Sunday in the match against Marseille, leaving the field in the 34th minute. Meanwhile, T. Motta played the full 90 minutes but felt shoulder pain after the game. "I can confirm that David Luiz will be out for about four weeks, and Motta for 10 days," Blanc said at a press conference on Tuesday. "Thiago Motta no longer has major shoulder problems but feels fatigue. Serge Aurier and Lucas Moura are back, but we are not sure if the latter will be able to play," the strategist added. The first leg between Barca and PSG will take place on April 15th, with the return leg on the 21st of the same month.
