Barcelona are facing a double blow to their defense ahead of their UEFA Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain. Players Jules Koundé and Eric García both suffered injuries during Saturday's LaLiga win against Real Betis. Koundé suffered a sprain to his left ankle and is expected to miss the upcoming clash with PSG. His availability for Barcelona's crucial Clásico against Real Madrid remains uncertain.
García, on the other hand, suffered a muscle injury to his right thigh, which is expected to keep him out for three to four weeks, also ruling him out of the Clásico. This double injury leaves Barcelona with a significant shortage of natural right-backs, leaving manager Hansi Flick with the challenge of reshuffling his defense and finding a suitable solution to counteract PSG's attacking prowess.
