PSG's Thiago Silva leaves match vs. Barcelona with apparent injury

Reuters

Paris Saint-Germain is already behind on the scoreboard, and now they'll have to mount a comeback against Barcelona without their captain.

Thiago Silva left Wednesday's contest at the Parc des Princes in the 21st minute, trudging off the pitch with what seemed to be a hamstring problem just minutes after Neymar put the visitors ahead.

The Brazilian center-back was replaced by compatriot David Luiz, who himself was expected to be out for a month with the same ailment, but recovered in just over a week to make the squad for this contest.
