Paris Saint-Germain visits Caen this weekend in what is likely to be Marco Verratti's 100th Ligue 1 appearance.
Marco Verratti is relishing his return to fitness as he prepares to make his 100th Ligue 1 appearance in Paris Saint-Germain's trip to Caen on Saturday.
The Italy international – whose agent claimed on Thursday that contract extension talks had been initiated – made his first start since October in the 1-0 Coupe de la Ligue 1 win over Saint-Etienne on Wednesday after recovering from a troublesome ankle injury.
Verratti accepts the victory, which came courtesy of Edinson Cavani's late goal, was hard won but is delighted to be getting close to full match sharpness again ahead of the mid-season break.
