Jose Mourinho will feel relieved if PSG's injuries do impact the Champions League clash

PSG were 2-0 up and seemed to be out of site but conceded two late goals after the side was blighted by a string of injuries.

Marquinhos, Serge Aurier, Yohan Cabaye and Lucas Moura all had to leave the field and are now doubts ahead of their last 16 match with Chelsea.

Laurent Blanc had already used all three substitutions by the 68th minute, meaning PSG had to finish the remaining ten minutes of the game with just nine men.

Cabaye was the first to fall on 16 minutes after serious discomfort forced him to leave the field.

And Next was Marquinos after 46 minutes and then Ivorian Serge Aurier, who was stretchered off on the 70th minute.

Brazilian Lucas rounded off the afternoon, the winger visibly moved to tears as he was stretchered down the tunnel to receive treatment.

By comparison, Chelsea have a near complete squad and have the return of star striker Diego Costa to look forward to in a clash that may now be markedly different.
