The manager had feared the midfielder would be out for the rest of the season, but the Paris Saint-Germain star is back to face Lille.
Paris Saint-Germain has been handed a boost ahead of Saturday's Ligue 1 game against Lille with the news that midfielder Thiago Motta is fit to play.
Motta has missed the last five games due to a hamstring injury sustained in the 3-2 win over Marseille earlier this month.
However, he is in squad for this weekend's clash at the Parc des Princes as PSG aims to keep pace with Lyon in an enthralling battle for the title that sees the latter ahead at the top on goal difference, although Laurent Blanc's men do have a game in hand.
