Zlatan Ibrahimovic will return to action for Paris St Germain when the French giants host his hometown club of Malmo in Tuesday's Champions League Group A opener.
PSG coach Laurent Blanc gave the Sweden forward the night off last Friday, when the team drew 2-2 with Bordeaux in Ligue 1.
Ibrahimovic picked up a knock while on international duty last week and was rested as a precaution.
"His injury is not serious but it's painful and he needed to rest," PSG coach Laurent Blanc said on the club's official website.
"We want him to be fit for the game against Malmo on Tuesday."
Ibrahimovic began his career at Malmo and scored 16 goals in 40 appearances for the Swedish outfit before moving to Ajax in 2001.
The Sweden captain is expected to start for PSG, who begin a Champions League campaign convinced they can go all the way in the competition.
"We have a lot of ambition," PSG summer signing Angel Di Maria said to Le Parisien. "We have great players.
"Like others before me, I've come here to help PSG win this competition."
Di Maria is looking forward to playing in the Champions League again after missing out on the competition last season while playing for Manchester United.
The Argentina international knows what is like to lift the trophy, having done so with Real Madrid in the 2013/14 campaign.
"In order to win the Champions League you need a bit of luck, play as good a game as you can and have a very united group, that is key," he said.
PSG have been eliminated the past three seasons at the quarter-final stage and have not reached the last four since the 1994/95 campaign.
Last season's 3-1 home defeat to Barcelona in the last eight of the competition was PSG's first at the Parc des Princes in 34 European home games. They went on to lose 5-1 on aggregate.
Blanc will have to do without defender Serge Aurier while midfielder Javier Pastore has yet to recover from a calf injury sustained last month.
The French giants go into the encounter having seen their 13-match winning run in Ligue 1 halted by Friday's draw with Bordeaux.
Despite the result, PSG lead the Ligue 1 standings and are one point clear of Rennes five games into the campaign.
Malmo made their Champions League debut last season and are keen to improve on their results.
The Swedish champions won one and lost five of their group stage encounters, slipping to defeats in all of their three away games.
Malmo will also face 10-time European champions Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk in their pool.
"It is great to face Zlatan," Malmo's Norwegian coach Age Hareide said. "But we are in a very tough group.
"We would have preferred a slightly weaker third team (than Shakhtar)."
Malmo drew 1-1 at home to Elfsborg on Saturday to drop to fifth in the domestic standings, nine points adrift of Swedish league leaders IFK Goteborg after 23 rounds.
