Paris Saint-Germain star Adrien Rabiot will miss his side’s crucial Champions League encounter against Arsenal on Wednesday with a thigh injury, according to French magazine France Football.

The midfielder, who has been in good form for PSG in the present campaign, picked up the injury whilst on international duty with France.




Rabiot suffered the injury in the latter stages of France’s goalless draw with the Ivory Coast in a friendly on Tuesday night as he had to be substituted in the 87th minute of the contest.

The 21-year-old underwent tests on Wednesday to determine the severity of the injury and it is believed that he will have to be sidelined for up to three weeks.
 


Besides the game against Arsenal, Rabiot could miss as many as six matches in all competitions, including a Ligue 1 meeting with Lyon on 27th November and PSG’s final Champions League group stage fixture against Ludogorets Razgrad in early December.
