PARIS (Reuters) - Paris St Germain will be without midfielder Adrien Rabiot when they entertain Nantes in Ligue 1 on Sunday, coach Laurent Blanc said.

"Rabiot is out for Sunday, he picked up a knee injury at Bordeaux," Blanc told a news conference.

Rabiot scored in PSG's 3-1 win at Bordeaux in a League Cup quarter-final tie on Tuesday.

French champions PSG lead the Ligue 1 standings with 47 points from 20 games, five ahead of second-placed Monaco, who travel to Toulouse on Sunday.
