Injured Alex out of PSG home clash against Monaco

(Reuters)

The Brazilian, who started all five of PSG's previous league games, has not fully recovered from the thigh strain that already forced him out of Tuesday's Champions League 4-1 victory at Olympiakos.

Compatriot Marquinhos, who scored the fourth goal in Greece on his debut for the French side he joined in the summer from AS Roma, is likely to make his first Ligue 1 appearance.

PSG are third on 11 points from five games, two behind Monaco with both sides unbeaten.
