PSG, big blow confirmed before Barça

The poster between FC Barcelona and Paris SG on Wednesday will not have the hoped -for shine. Consequence of the many absences with which the two teams will have to compose and especially the club of the capital, which risks presenting itself on the lawn of the Montjuic Olympic stadium without its titular attack in the last final of the Champions League.

The absence of Ousmane Dembélé, who left for Qatar to continue his convalescence, was heard. That of Désiré Doué, too fair to make her return, was expected. And since Saturday and its release at halftime of the match against Auxerre that of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been feared.

And to believe the team, the trend is not optimistic. The former Neapolitan did not train this last session this Monday before the departure for Catalonia and submitted to an examination battery. If his package is not yet acted, the Parisian staff should not take any risks with his Georgian player.

Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz good for the PSG side service

Failing to be able to count on its best assets at the forefront, PSG should be able to rely on its usual holders in the midfield. He too released prematurely on Saturday, Vitinha was certainly not trained this Monday but should be able to hold his place. The same is true of Fabian Ruiz, preserved this weekend due to muscle fatigue. As for Joao Neves, on the side for two weeks, he should return to the group, if not starting to start the game.

Note that in the Barcelona ranks, if Raphinha and goalkeeper Joan Garcia joined Gavi to the infirmary, Pau Cubarsi and Alejandro Balde are operational and Lamine Yamal, author of a convincing school year against Real Sociedad, could start the meeting.
