Thilo Kehrer is set to miss between two and three months with a chronic groin lesion, further compounding Paris Saint-Germain's injury woes as they look to repeat last season's exploits at home and abroad.
The defender suffered a recurrence of his long-standing problem during Thomas Tuchel's side's victory over Rennes in Ligue 1 on Saturday, to take the club's injury list up to a round dozen key faces.
The French heavyweights are already without stars such as Neymar and Kylian Mbappe heading into November's international break, with the attacking duo's absence only the tip of the iceberg for the Parisian outfit.
