FC Barcelona will have 10 days to prepare for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie against Paris Saint-Germain. The Catalan side entered this mini-break with a 1-0 win over Las Palmas on Saturday at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

The Spanish side aim to have their squad fully fit for the match on April 10 at the Parc des Princes and then on April 16 at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. One of the players racing to be fit for the La Liga team is Pedri.

Journalist Alfredo Martínez reports that Pedri is nearing the end of his recovery process. There’s a chance he might feature in one of the legs against PSG in the Champions League.

PSG are also racing against time to have Bradley Barcola fit. The 21-year-old suffered a Grade 2 hamstring injury in his left thigh.

Nonetheless, Le Parisien recently 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.
