Bradley Barcola back in training but out of Liverpool Champions League first leg | OneFootball

Bradley Barcola has returned to Paris Saint-Germain training after a right ankle sprain but will miss Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Liverpool at 21:00.

According to Le Progres, the winger is not yet ready despite rejoining the group on Tuesday.

The former Lyon forward suffered a severe right ankle ligament sprain against Chelsea on 17 March, a 3-0 game, and has been sidelined for three weeks.

Barcola took part in the opening rondo during the 15 minutes open to the media. Head coach Luis Enrique underlined the caution, saying the staff want him in the best possible shape for confidence and that the player will indicate when he feels ready.

His injury forced him to withdraw from France's tour of the United States, missing the friendlies against Brazil and Colombia, won 2-1 and 3-1 respectively.

There was further positive news for PSG as Senny Mayulu returned from a right calf issue. Midfielder Fabian Ruiz remained out with a knee problem.
