Laurent Blanc expecting Zlatan Ibrahimovic involvement

Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc has said that Zlatan Ibrahimovic "has a great chance" of being fit to face Malmo in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The Swedish international picked up a back injury during his country's Euro 2016 qualifier against Russia on September 6 and subsequently missed PSG's league match at home to Marseille on Friday.

It had been thought that the striker would miss the clash against his former club, but Blanc has revealed that Ibra's chances of featuring in Paris are strong.

"I think Ibra has a great chance to be in the group. We'll see at the end of training," he told reporters.

Ibrahimovic came through the youth system at Malmo, playing two years in the first team before joining Ajax in 2001.
