5.   Panamanian international striker Julio Cesar Dely Valdes is staying with French championship leaders Paris St Germain, the club said Wednesday.

6.   Out-of-form Panamanian striker Julio Dely Valdes is likely to be overlooked in favour of an attacking trio of Youri Djorkaeff, Rai and Patrice Loko.
