FC Barcelona has received some rare good news on the injury front, with concerns about players picking up injuries during the international break. The team is currently trailing bitter rivals Real Madrid by eight points in the La Liga title race, but they have qualified for the Champions League quarterfinals, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain.
Barcelona will be without the talented youngster Gavi, who is still recovering from an ACL injury and is not expected to return to competitive action until next season. The team is hoping to have Frenkie de Jong and Pedri available for the match against PSG, despite both players picking up knocks in a recent game against Athletic Club.
The team cannot afford to lose any more players before facing PSG in the Champions League quarterfinals on April 10. There was a scare when defender Jules Kounde picked up an injury while playing for France, but it was later confirmed to be a “heavy blow” that required ice treatment rather than a serious injury.
It is uncertain whether Kounde will be fit to play for France against Chile, and how he will be when he returns to Barcelona for their upcoming match against Las Palmas. Barcelona will be hoping to have their players fit and ready for the crucial matches ahead as they look to compete on both the domestic and European front.
Barcelona’s head coach Xavi Hernandez will be closely monitoring the fitness of his players during the international break to ensure they are in the best possible shape for the important matches coming up. The team will be hoping to put on a strong performance against PSG and continue their push for success in both La Liga and the Champions League.
Despite the challenges and injuries they have faced, Barcelona remains determined to compete at the highest level and will be looking to turn their fortunes around in the remaining matches of the season. With the support of their fans and the dedication of their players, they will be aiming for success in both domestic and European competitions.
