Paris: Paris Saint Germain (PSG) Italian midfielder Marco Verratti was diagnosed with a sprained ankle, which makes him doubtful for their upcoming first leg of the UEFA Champions League last-16 clash against Manchester United, the Ligue 1 club announced on Sunday.

PSG is set to take on host Manchester United on February 12 in the first leg of the last-16 of Europe's elite club tournament, PSG's main objective of the season. IANS
