Barcelona on Alert: PSG Standout On Track to Be Fit for First Leg Clash

Originally posted on PSG Talk | Last updated 3/29/24

Paris Saint-Germain suffered one significant injury over the FIFA international break: Bradley Barcola suffered a Grade 2 hamstring injury in his left thigh.

The 21-year-old will miss the matches against Olympique de Marseille (March 31) and Stade Rennais (April 3). However, what many want to know is whether the Frenchman will be ready for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League tie against Barcelona on April 10.

Le Parisien provided an update on the situation and noted that Barcola’s injury is progressing positively. Still, he should be fine for Barcelona when the Spanish side travels to the Parc des Princes.

When the injury occurred last week, RMC Sport reported that it was unlikely that the player would be fit for the match. The report added that there’s a certain pessimism within PSG about the player’s ability to be fully fit

However, it appears that with PSG’s coaching staff and one full week of healing, there’s a chance that he can at least be available; whether that means he starts or comes off the bench remains to be seen.
