PARIS -- Paris Saint-Germain will be without Dani Alves, Marco Verratti, Julian Draxler and Thiago Motta in addition to Neymar for Friday's trip to Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1.
Timothy Weah, meanwhile, will be considered as the 18-year-old American has been included in coach Unai Emery's 18-man squad once again.
Alves has a right hip problem and will not be fit to feature at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, meaning Thomas Meunier will deputise.
Verratti has a left adductor issue and Draxler is nursing a left knee injury, shortening Emery's midfield options for the game.
Motta, the vice-captain, remains suspended after a red card against Angers that also ruled him out of last Saturday's Coupe de la Ligue victory against Monaco in Bordeaux.
Weah, who earned his first cap with the United States last week, will be joined by fellow youth academy figure Kevin Rimane to boost options.
Neymar is continuing his rehabilitation in Brazil, but Emery said on Wednesday that he should be back to resume training in the next two or three weeks.
Hatem Ben Arfa has been left out once again amid recent links to the Montreal Impact and third-choice goalkeeper Sebastien Cibois is not needed with both Alphonse Areola and Kevin Trapp fit to travel and play.
