Relapse
Rodriguez, 21, first sustained a muscular injury last month and suffered a recurrence during Saturday's 2-0 Ligue 1 loss at CS Sedan-Ardennes. Gallardo, 31, has not featured for PSG since 22 February when they defeated AEK Athens FC 2-0 to advance in the UEFA Cup and his comeback is uncertain for the first leg against Benfica. The club's medical staff said of Marcelo in a statement: "We will decide with the coach in the days to come whether he can play or not."
