The Argentine was absent for the trip to Brittany to face Lorient on Sunday due to an inflamed Achilles, and was being sidelined by Christophe Galtier out of precaution. The 35-year-old has reportedly not indicated that he wants to be rested ahead of the World Cup, with the match against Auxerre this weekend being the final domestic fixture before the tournament.

Kylian Mbappé is also expected to take part in the build-up to the match on Sunday despite going off in the last two games with muscle fatigue, while Keylor Navas is due to be available again after back problems. Fabián Ruiz was expected to return to full training following an adductor injury, but the league leaders’ medical staff do not want to take any risks with the Spaniard’s fitness.
