Bordeaux are set to lose Brazilian defender Henrique (pictured) for up to eight weeks after he injured his left knee when he ran into his own goalkeeper Ulrich Rame in Saturday's 3-0 win at Le Havre.

Meanwhile, PSG left-back Sylvain Armand will be sidelined for up to six weeks after spraining his left knee in the 4-1 defeat at Toulouse.

Armand has only missed one game for the Parisians all season and coach Paul Le Guen will be hoping Mamadou Sakho can fill in.

The Ligue 1 title race is set to go down to the wire with just four points separating Lyon in first and PSG in sixth.

Bordeaux currently lie in third position just three points behind Lyon.
