Paris Saint-Germain center back Thiago Silva will be out of action for at least three weeks due to a thigh muscle injury he picked up during the match against Ajaccio on Friday.
The Brazil international was forced off against the Corsicans after 57 minutes, and is not likely to return to match action until the Feb. 8 clash with Bastia.
