Posted on at


Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Schalke are the teams most affected by injuries and suspensions as the Champions League returns with four last-16 ties this week.

For PSG, their 2-2 draw with Caen at the weekend proved costly. They suffered an astonishing five injuries during the match, with four of those players having been ruled out by Laurent Blanc for their game against Chelsea.
