Marco Verratti to be fit in time for Manchester United clash?

Influential midfielder Marco Verratti is in line to make his return to action ahead of Paris Saint-Germain's last-16 showdown with Manchester United in the Champions League.

The 26-year-old has not featured for the French giants since twisting his ankle in the 9-0 thrashing of Guingamp two weeks ago.

With Neymar already being confirmed out of the double-header later this month, PSG have now been left sweating on Verratti's fitness as nine days remain until the first leg at Old Trafford.

However, manager Thomas Tuchel revealed ahead of his side's trip to Lyon on Sunday that the 26-year-old - used 24 times in all competitions this season - is scheduled to return to training in the coming days.

PSG, who are 10 points clear at the top of Ligue 1, have three more matches to play before facing United.
