Former France midfielder Claude Makelele returns from a two-match suspension for Paris St Germain against arch rivals Marseille in Ligue 1 on Sunday evening.

The capital side, who are second in the standings one point behind Lyon, are still without influential Benin midfielder Stephane Sessegnon, who was banned for three matches earlier this month.

Third-placed Marseille, who have not conceded a goal in their last five league matches, also have their suspension woes and will have to make do without Algerian midfielder Karim Ziani at the Parc des Princes.

L'OM will also be without right-back Laurent Bonnart, who picked up a groin injury in his team's 2-1 defeat of Ajax in the UEFA Cup on Thursday and has been ruled out for at least two months.

"It looks pretty serious and he might be out until the end of the season," coach Eric Gerets told the club's official website.

Ivory Coast striker Bakari Kone and captain Lorik Cana are doubtful because of minor injuries as are defenders Vitorino Hilton and Julien Rodriguez.

Lyon will be without Kader Keita in their home game against Auxerre on Sunday after the Ivory Coast forward was handed a two-match suspension.
