Nesta numbed while PSV prosper

Nine European clubs still harbour hopes of winning the UEFA Champions League this season. uefa.com brings you the latest from their domestic campaigns.

FC Internazionale Milano were without Alvaro Recoba (foot), Obafemi Martins (back), Giuseppe Favalli (muscle strain) and Christian Vieri (knee) as they earned their 17th Serie A draw of the season, 1-1 at S.S. Lazio. Defender Sinisa Mihajlovic and midfield player Esteban Cambiasso were rested ahead of Tuesday's visit of FC Porto in the second leg of their Round of 16 tie, for which Favalli, Martins and Vieri are all expected to return.

The Portuguese champions, without rested Maniche and suspended Benni McCarthy, were knocked off the SuperLiga's top spot after slipping to a surprise 4-0 home defeat, their heaviest home loss since 1975, by CD Nacional on Friday. Furthermore, Luis Fabiano will not travel to Milan due to personal reasons while Costinha is a doubt with a troublesome thigh injury.

Of the seven sides already through to the quarter-finals, Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven had the most impressive result, a 4-0 home win against ADO Den Haag. Two goals from Ji-Sung Park and further strikes by Mark van Bommel and Alex kept Guus Hiddink's men four points clear of AZ Alkmaar. PSV had no injury worries after Phillip Cocu, Jefferson Farfán and Johann Vogel all recovered from minor complaints to start, while Kasper Bøgelund filled in for right-back André Ooijer, who was serving a domestic suspension.

A solitary goal from Brazilian midfield player Kaká was enough for AC Milan to defeat UC Sampdoria 1-0 at the San Siro. Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti stuck with the team that defeated Manchester United FC on Tuesday but lost centre-halves Alessandro Nesta and Paolo Maldini to injury during the first half. Nesta later required seven stitches in his right foot.

Milan remain joint-top of Serie A with Juventus FC, who had Ruben Olivera to thank for the last-gasp goal which secured them all three points at AC Chievo Verona. Although Fabio Capello was without left winger Olivier Kapo who has a muscle injury, he decided not to rush Pavel Nedved back to the starting lineup. The Czech midfield player and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were both rested.

Olympique Lyonnais, who completed a 10-2 aggregate success against Werder Bremen on Tuesday, stay eight points clear in their bid for a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title following a hard-fought 2-1 win at home against FC Istres. Juninho Pernambucano's stunning free-kick and a Sidney Govou strike sealed the victory in a game marked by the return of Anthony Réveillère from an ankle injury. Club captain Claudio Caçapa remains sidelined with a knee problem.

Fresh from their aggregate win against Arsenal FC, FC Bayern München slipped to a 1-0 defeat at title rivals FC Schalke 04 which saw them drop to second in the standings. Robert Kovac, Zé Roberto and Torsten Frings all missed the match with flu, while Mehmet Scholl and Roy Makaay are still out with muscle injuries.

Chelsea FC and Liverpool FC were not in domestic action at the weekend following their earlier elimination from the FA Cup. However, they both face rearranged Premiership fixtures at home in midweek. Arjen Robben could return to José Mourinho's lineup for Tuesday's game against relegation strugglers West Bromwich Albion FC. Liverpool take on Blackburn Rovers FC on Wednesday, but are likely to be without Harry Kewell, who has been told his damaged groin will only fully heal with an extended lay-off.
