Ibrahimovic was sent off when PSG lost at home to Saint-Etienne, and in wo games without their talismanic striker they were held at Montpellier and lost at the Parc des Princes to Stade Rennes.
Ibrahimovic set up five of his team's six Champions League goals in wins over Dinamo Zagreb and Dynamo Kiev, and his absence from domestic duty was keenly felt by PSG.
"Without Ibra, who is Ballon d'Or material like Messi or Ronaldo, it is inevitably different," sports director Leonardo told reporters.
"For the first time since he is at PSG, he was the Lavezzi everybody knows," Ancelotti told reporters.
"He played a great game [against Dynamo], he scored.
"Unfortunately he was late in his preparation because of his injuries in the early season. But I see a better future for him."
"Carlo [Ancelotti] is used to crisis situations," Leonardo said. "He is not going to cry over it. Our problem is a lack of concentration through time."
"The coach talked about a crisis? I don't know, I have not been around lately. You know, the club is growing everyday into an important club and it's normal that we are under permanent pressure," he said.
"We are two teams who play to win," said Saint-Etienne coach Christophe Galtier. "It is going to be an open game."
