Paris St Germain's injured midfielder Marco Verratti may start training next week, raising hopes he could play in the Champions League last-16 first leg at Manchester United on Feb. 12.

"He could get back to first team training next week, coach Thomas Tuchel told reporters on Saturday on the eve of a Ligue 1 clash at Olympique Lyonnais.

Italy international Verratti twisted his ankle in a 9-0 demolition of En Avant Guingamp a couple of weeks ago.

"The MRI has confirmed a sprained left ankle without any other injury," PSG said in a statement on Sunday.

"New checks early in the week will help define the length of his absence."

Verratti left the pitch after 13 minutes of the match after a Guingamp player stepped on his ankle.

PSG, who lead Ligue 1 by 10 points with three games in hand, travel to Old Trafford on Feb. 12 without the injured Neymar.
