Official: 4 big names miss out as PSG name squad to face Barcelona | OneFootball

French heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain have named their matchday squad to face La Liga champions Barcelona.

And it features several headline exclusions.

The highly-anticipated showdown between PSG and Barcelona is of course primed to play out on Wednesday evening.

After fans were denied a Champions League showpiece matchup between the sides by Inter Milan last season, the two European giants will lock horns in a League phase fixture this time round.

In the buildup to the clash, much of the chatter has surrounded the personnel situation, with both PSG and Barca facing up to something of a crisis on the injury front at present.

The former’s looked even worse over recent days, as headline members of Luis Enrique’s squad continued to drop like flies.

Those of a PSG persuasion, in turn, will no doubt be relieved to hear of all of Vitinha, João Neves and Fabián Ruiz have been called up.

Missing out, though, will be the quartet of Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Marquinhos.
