PARIS (Reuters) - Ligue 1 leaders Paris St Germain will be without the in-form Edinson Cavani when they host Lille on Sunday after the Uruguay striker was left out of the squad for personal reasons, the French champions said on Saturday.

PSG coach Laurent Blanc said on Friday that Cavani, who has scored six goals in his last six appareances in all competitions, was doubtful after being allowed to travel to Uruguay to deal with a personal matter.
