Carlo Ancelotti: 'Thiago Motta could miss Barcelona clash'

Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that midfielder Thiago Motta is unlikely to be fit to face his former side Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-final.

Ancelotti said, however, that he was currently focused on the league clash with Montpellier and not facing Barcelona.

"He's injured his abductor muscle," Ancelotti told reporters. "He's having an unlucky year. I hope it isn't serious.

"I understand that everybody is excited about this game, but for me, right now, it's Montpellier, then Barcelona and then Rennes, in that order. Every game is important. I haven't yet thought about [Barcelona]."

Ancelotti said recently that he hopes David Beckham can stay at the club next season.
