Marco Verratti's hamstring injury will prevent him from travelling with Paris Saint-Germain to Nice on Saturday.

The president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and football advisor Luis Campos were there for Friday's training session, but the Italy international was conspicuously absent.

Verratti had a hamstring strain, which necessitated him to stay indoors for treatment, as later verified by PSG.

While the club did not give much of an outline about the injury's severity, they did state more information will be provided early next week.

As such, Verratti will seemingly be unable to feature for Christophe Galtier on Saturday as PSG look to end a slump against the coach's former employers.

📍 Medical update ahead of #OGCNPSG@Aspetar— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) April 7, 2023

Defending champions PSG have lost each of their past two Ligue 1 games, suffering successive top-flight defeats for the first time since September 2020.

Nice have not been in the finest of form themselves, drawing their previous four league outings, meaning PSG will likely be confident of avoiding losing three in a row in Ligue 1 for the first time in 13 years.

You have to go back another three years to the last time PSG failed to score in three consecutive Ligue 1 games (four), with Rennes and Lyon shutting the Parisians out either side of the March international break.

PSG remain at the top of Ligue 1, but the recent blip has seen their lead cut to just six points ahead of Lens, their next opponents after the trip to Nice.
