Your support makes all the difference.Paris St-Germain, the holders, will be without Leonardo for the away leg against Galatasaray in the second round of the European Cup- Winners' Cup tomorrow.
Leonardo, whose seven goals and incisive midfield play have helped PSG establish a seven-point lead in the French First Division, has been called up by Mario Zagallo to play in Brazil's friendly at home to Lithuania.
His team-mate Vincent Guerin said: "We'll surely miss him. But we have enough good players to manage without him."
PSG's manager, Ricardo, a fellow Brazilian, said: "His absence is serious but I have a good squad and I'm not worried."
Laurent Fournier will probably move into Leonardo's attacking midfield role, with Jose Cobos coming into the defence
