PARIS (Reuters) - Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss Paris St Germain's Ligue 1 season opener at Lille on Friday because of a knee injury. PSG said on their website (www.psg.fr) on Tuesday that the Sweden striker picked up the injury during the team's 2-0 win against Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions' Trophy last Saturday. "(Further checks) showed a sprained ligament in his right knee," the club said. PSG kick off this season's Ligue 1 at Lille on Friday at 1830 GMT. (Reporting by Julien Pretot; Editing by Toby Davis)
