Zlatan Ibrahimovic will play his final Paris St-Germain game in the French Cup final against Marseille despite missing training with a calf injury.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was named Ligue 1 top scorer in three of his four years in France


The 34-year-old Swede, who is leaving at the end of his contract this summer, is the club's all-time record scorer with 154 goals in 179 appearances.
Coach Laurent Blanc said: "Zlatan hasn't trained much this week because he's been failing pain in his calf.
"But he's got the mental fortitude to be able to play this match."
Ibrahimovic scored twice in his final league game - a 4-0 win over Nantes at the Parc des Princes.
The game was halted after 10 minutes while fans gave him a standing ovation and then he left the pitch with his children - to another round of applause - before the final whistle.
Blanc added: "He and the other players will give everything they have to win. They have a winner's mentality, which is exactly what you need to win finals."
Paris St-Germain, chasing their second domestic treble in a row, finished 31 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 this season.
Marseille finished 13th, meaning they need to win at the Stade de France to reach next season's Europa League.
It is the final game of Scotland striker Steven Fletcher's loan spell from Sunderland.
