A handful of key players will miss Paris Saint-Germain's penultimate Champions League group stage match Wednesday against Malmo.
David Luiz and Marco Verratti highlight the list of names left off manager Laurent Blanc's travelling squad because of a suspension and a leg injury, respectively. Javier Pastore, Serge Aurier & Ezequiel Lavezzi were also ruled out of the trip to Sweden.
Luiz will miss his first match of the Champions League after picking up his third yellow card during PSG's last group stage match against Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, Verratti continues to work towards recovery from a tibial strain suffered in the Madrid clash.
