Paris, September 30 (AP) Paris Saint-Germain will be missing their star winger Khvitcha Kvaratskhelia for the upcoming Champions League group stage match against Barcelona on Wednesday.

Kvaratskhelia was substituted at halftime during Saturday's home victory over Auxerre due to a suspected thigh injury.

In some positive news for PSG, Vitinha, who exited late in the first half of the same game against Auxerre, and fellow midfielder João Neves, who had been absent from the last two Ligue 1 matches with a thigh injury, were both named in the squad announced on Tuesday.

However, team captain Marquinhos continues to be unavailable due to a thigh muscle problem.

PSG is set to face Barcelona with a limited attacking roster.
