🚑 Miss first leg, Barcola and Fabian out for PSG v Liverpool | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain faces one of its toughest challenges of the season with discouraging news from the treatment room.

According to the club’s latest medical report, neither Spanish midfielder Fabián Ruiz nor French forward Bradley Barcola will be available for tomorrow’s crucial Champions League clash against Liverpool.

Barcola’s absence is a major setback for Luis Enrique’s system. The young winger, who suffered an ankle sprain during the previous tie against Chelsea, has not managed to recover in time.

As for Fabián Ruiz, he is still dealing with physical issues that are keeping him out of the squad. Although the Spanish international has shown improvement in recent individual training sessions, the coaching staff has decided not to risk his fitness in a match that will demand maximum intensity from the very first minute.

Luis Enrique now faces the difficult task of reshaping his starting eleven. Without Fabián’s creativity in midfield and Barcola’s directness out wide, the Asturian coach will have to rely on the depth of his bench to stop the Anfield side, which arrives in Paris in excellent form.
