Di Maria, Ibrahimovic nearing full fitness

Laurent Blanc should have the two star players available for upcoming Paris Saint-Germain matches.

Paris Saint-Germain duo Angel di Maria and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are both close to returns from injury.

Both appear likely to miss PSG's trip to Montpellier on Friday, with Di Maria (hamstring) and Ibrahimovic (knee) not yet ready for the clash.

Di Maria is yet to feature for the Ligue 1 giants since making a 44 million pound ($69.1 million) move from Manchester United in July, while Ibrahimovic hurt his knee in the Trophee des Champions win over Lyon on Aug. 1.

PSG coach Laurent Blanc said on Thursday that Di Maria was very close to making his debut.
