Barcelona without de Jong, Garcia and Bardghji for Feyenoord Champions League opener | OneFootball

Barcelona have named their squad for Wednesday’s Champions League home game against Feyenoord at 18:45, with Frenkie de Jong, Eric Garcia and Roony Bardghji not included.

L'Équipe reports that de Jong remains sidelined by a knee ligament fissure and is not expected to return to training before October.

Garcia is suspended after his red card in last season’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Atlético de Madrid, a tie that ended 0-2 and 2-1.

Bardghji is expected to be out for six to seven months after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during pre-season.

Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona are leaders of La Liga with four wins from four, 17 goals scored and two conceded, and must maintain that momentum as they begin their European campaign.
