The 29-year-old was among a number of players not involved in PSG’s 2-1 Ligue 1 win over Angers on Friday due to their involvement in World Cup qualifying games.

Barca tried to re-sign Neymar last year but were unable to agree a deal with French champions PSG, whom he joined for a world-record fee of 222 million euros ($264 million at the time) in 2017.
Paris St Germain (PSG) and Brazil forward Neymar says that not knowing when football will be played again is making him anxious.
A spokesperson for the organisation told Reuters via email that as the dispute had been submitted to different bodies, FIFA was not in a position to mediate.
The penalty Neymar scored was the first awarded to PSG since the Brazilian and Edinson Cavani argued over who would take one against Lyon.
The world-record signing became involved in an on-pitch dispute with teammate Edinson Cavani during last weekend’s win over Lyon as the pair argued over who should take a penalty.
The pair, who are part of a new-look attacking lineup following the arrivals of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the summer, argued in PSG’s 2-0 win over Lyon on Sunday.
Both players were seen on live TV on Sunday arguing over who should have the right and the club’s coach has ordered them to sort out their differences.
Speaking with FIFA.com on Monday, Okocha opined: “Yes, I think he will be the one to do it. Messi and Ronaldo have dominated world football for a decade and, given the nature of football, at a certain point the baton will have to pass to someone else. I think Neymar has a great chance of filling that role.
“A sportsman needs challenges. And for the second time in my life, I am going against the advice of my Dad,” the Brazilian wrote in a long post in Spanish on his Instagram account on Thursday night.
