Paris Saint Germain midfielder Javier Pastore could only manage 10 minutes in his side's Ligue 1 encounter against Montpellier before limping off the field at the Stade de la Mosson with an injury.

Pastore made way for midfielder Adrien Rabiot as PSG looks for three points in this league's clash. The Parisian outfit leads the table after two wins over Ajaccio and Lille.

The injury isn't yet clear but one reporter for ESPN FC says it's a problem with his calf.

Rabiot immediately made his presence felt, too, getting involved in the play minutes after coming on to the field. But the absence of Pastore in the midfield changed the way the visiting side would attack Montpellier, too.

Paris is already shorthanded, as Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was unavailable for selection in this match with a knee injury.
