Barca defenders Garcia, Kounde injured before key games
Both players finished the 5-2 win over Real Betis with discomfort ahead of the Clasico against Real Madrid and the Champions League clash with PSG.
Barcelona defenders Eric Garcia and Jules Kounde have suffered injuries ahead of crucial upcoming matches. Spanish centreback Garcia will be sidelined for three to four weeks with a thigh injury and will miss the Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain as well as the La Liga game against Real Madrid. Right-back Kounde is expected to miss the PSG match on Tuesday but could still play in the Clasico on Sunday depending on the progress of his ankle sprain.
Both players ended Barcelona's 5-2 win over Real Betis in La Liga with discomfort. PSG also announced a defensive absence after Portuguese left-back Nuno Mendes picked up an injury in their recent Ligue 1 win.
