Manchester United defender Gabby George needs surgery after injuring her anterior cruciate knee ligament and is set to miss the rest of the season.

The 26-year-old limped off in the ninth minute of United's Women's Super League draw with Leicester on Sunday.

It is the second time she has ruptured her ACL, having seriously injured her knee for former club Everton in 2020.

"I promise to give my all during recovery to come back stronger," George said on social media on Tuesday.

Marc Skinner will be hoping his United side avoid a similar fate to Arsenal, who were knocked out of the first round of qualifying by Paris FC.

Both the first and second rounds of qualifying are split into two groups - the champions path and league path.

United are in the league path, along with PSG and others who finished runners-up of their respective leagues.

The other path contains the champions of leagues outside the highest-ranked associations.

Manchester United aren't the only British side looking to qualify for the Champions League group stages tonight.

It would require a monumental result to overturn for Glasgow City to get past SK Brann, though.

They lost the first leg 4-0 at home and it's currently 0-0 in Norway.

It's a busy night in the Champions League.

Roma and Slavia Prague have already reached the group stages after beating Vorskla Poltova and Olimpia Cluj respectively earlier in the day.

These games are currently being played:

• Rosengard 3-0 ZFK Spartak (agg 5-1)
• Sparta Prague 0-3 Eintracht Frankfurt (0-8 agg)
• Wolfsburg 0-1 Paris FC (3-4 agg)
• SK Brann 0-0 Glasgow City (4-0 agg)
• Ajax 0-0 FC Zurich (6-0 agg)
• St Polten 0-0 Valur (4-0 agg)
• Twente 0-0 BK Hacken (2-2 agg)
• Valerenga 0-0 Real Madrid (1-2 agg)

Benfica host Apollon Nicosia at 19:30 BST, with the Portuguese side leading 7-0 on aggregate.

Man Utd defender Gabby George will miss the rest of the season after injuring her anterior cruciate knee ligament in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Leicester. Jayde Riviere takes her place at left-back.

There are four other changes further forward in the team from the weekend's game.

Midfielder Lisa Naalsund starts, with Brazilian forward Geyse returning to the starting XI. England's Ella Toone and fellow forward Leah Galton also start.

Hayley Ladd, Nikita Parris, Lucia Garcia and Hinata Miyazawa drop to the bench.

Man Utd XI: Earps, Blundell, Le Tissier, Turner, Riviere, Toone, Zelem, Naalsund, Galton, Malard, Geyse.

PSG are without Oriane Jean-Francois, who was forced off in the first leg of this tie. Clare Hunt replaces her in defence.

The only other change from the starting XI that drew 1-1 with United comes in goal, with Katarzyna Kiedrzynek replacing Constance Picaud.

Marie Antoinette-Katoto is on the bench after recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

PSG XI: Kiedrzynek, Le Guilly, Hunt, De Almeida, Karchaoui, Geyoro, Albert, Groenen, Baltimore, Chawinga, Martens.

The Champions League will lose one of its potential heavyweights tonight.

Manchester United are in their first Champions League campaign and travel to PSG hoping to reach their first group stage.

They are the only English club who could still join Chelsea in the groups, with Arsenal having gone out in the first qualifying round.

Two-time finalists Paris St-Germain reached the quarter-finals last year before falling to runners-up Wolfsburg.

Tonight's game is being played at Parc des Princes rather than the 20,000-capacity Stade Jean-Bouin where PSG usually play their games.

Let's see how the teams line up for this one.
