Out until after international break Danilo will be out for the next two matches and until at least the international break after going down with a right hamstring injury.

Impact Danilo will, unfortunately, be spending a spell on the sidelines right after starting to get normal time in the starting squad due to a right hamstring injury he picked up in training. The midfielder has struggled to maintain full fitness throughout the campaign so far, now missing his third set of matches due to a knock. He was starting to appear in the starting central defense role over the last three matches, but Milan Skriniar will now reclaim that spot for all matches with Danilo out.

Probable for Troyes match Danilo (ankle) was named in the 20-man squad for Sunday's match versus Troyes.

Impact Danilo makes the squad after all and his quick return to action likely means he'll be starting at center-back especially with Parisians getting very thin on the back line.

Registers six clearances Danilo generated six clearances and two blocks in Saturday's 2-0 win over Nice.

Starting against Bayern Danilo is in PSG's starting lineup for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.

Impact Danilo has mostly played in central defense this season for PSG but he's starting arguably the biggest match thus far alongside Marco Verratti in midfield of a 4-4-2.

Could feature Wednesday Danilo (ribs) was named in the 21-man squad for Wednesday's match versus Strasbourg.

Impact Danilo was initially expected to miss the game as he was still training individually Sunday but apparently he's made a massive progress over the final two trainings and gets the call here. That being said though, Parisians would likely be careful with him and ease him off the bench. Renato Sanchez and Presnel Kimpembe are both out which could see PSG go out with four-man back line with Nordi Mukiele slotting at right-back while Fabian Ruiz and Carlos Soler would fill in in the middle of the park.

Ruled out versus Strasbourg Danilo (ribs) is still training individually Monday and will miss Wednesday's match versus Strasbourg, L'Equipe reports.

Pictured in training Danilo (ribs) was training with the team ahead of Wednesday's clash with Strasbourg.

Impact Danilo's attendance at training is certainly a step in the right direction after being forward to leave the World Cup due to his rib injury. Injuries have plagued the defender this season, costing him three matches prior to heading out on international duty. Still, when fit Danilo should be in contention to feature in the starting XI and could offer decent value in formats that prioritize defensive stats.
