Paris Saint-Germain creator Javier Pastore is struggling to shake off a reoccurring calf injury, reports ESPN.
Pastore, 27, has struggled for fitness since the start of last season and is now set for another spell on the sidelines.
The Argentina international has reportedly been told the only way to overcome this latest blow is to rest, which would seemingly leave the PSG No.10 in a fight to prove his fitness ahead of their big clash with Marseille at the end of this month.
In the last three Ligue 1 campaigns PSG have only lost two matches in which Pastore has started and boost a superior win ratio (75.6%).
