Ramos' PSG return date still unknown, says Pochettino

PARIS - Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino said Saturday there is still no fixed timetable for injured

defender Sergio Ramos to make his debut for the club.

  Ramos has not played for PSG since joining the French giants on a two-year
deal from Real Madrid in July, and has been training alone on his recovery
from a calf injury.

  "We're following his progress from day to day. We hope he'll be back as
soon as possible, but for the moment we can't say when," Pochettino told
reporters ahead of Sunday's trip to Rennes in Ligue 1.

  "Injured players go through things differently from the group. It's
difficult to fit in without being able to take part in the team training
sessions or matches.

  "But he's an experienced player. When he's able to get involved he'll adapt
quickly."

  In addition to the ongoing absence of Ramos, PSG will be without Layvin
Kurzawa and Julian Draxler against Rennes due to illness.

  PSG have won all eight matches in the league to start the season and sit
six points clear of second-placed Lens with a game in hand.BSS/AFP
