Barcelona have received a double injury boost ahead of their highly anticipated clash against Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain, with Vitinha and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia doubtful for the game after exiting PSG’s match over the weekend with apparent injuries.
Luis Enrique’s side were able to defeat Auxerre 2–0 to remain top of Ligue 1 after six games. The win took a heavy toll, though, as they now face a daunting trip to Barcelona with fresh injury concerns to two of their most impactful players.
The Catalans finished the 2024–25 season undefeated at home in the Champions League. In their season debut at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, Hansi Flick’s side came from behind to defeat Real Sociedad 2–1 in Lamine Yamal’s first appearance since August.
Yamal’s return is welcomed news after a month where Barcelona were hit by a number of significant injuries.
Barcelona are not alone in their injury struggles, however. PSG could potentially be without seven players that started the Champions League final last May in their trip to Spain, something Enrique believes casts a cloud over the matchup.
