PSG have received a huge boost ahead of next week's Champions League last-16 clash with Manchester United as Marco Verratti has returned to training.

The Italian midfielder sustained an ankle injury in the 9-0 win over Guingamp on January 19. But he has recovered in time to face the Red Devils.

Manager Thomas Tuchel told a news conference: "Marco trained on Thursday and there is no problem.

"I'm waiting for the afternoon training [on Friday] but he's available to play against Bordeaux. Maybe not 90 minutes, we'll talk with the physio, the doctor and the player but I think he can play.

"I do not know yet if it's possible, we have to wait."
