Official: PSG confirm key forward will miss Barcelona tie along with three more absentees

Barcelona’s clash against PSG in the UEFA Champions League is expected to be the single-most hypes game of the season, especially given the form of both sides over the past year.

Developments over the past few weeks, however, have significantly dampened the excitement as both sides have seen key players injured and thus ruled out of the game.

For Barcelona, the likes of Fermin Lopez, Gavi and Joan Garcia will be unavailable on the night through injuries, while for PSG, Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Marquinhos will miss out.

Availability confirmed

Also in doubt for PSG were Vitinha and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, both of whom were injured in the team’s weekend win over AJ Auxerre in Ligue 1.

Now, PSG have released the official squad list of players travelling to Catalonia to face off against Barcelona, and the status of both players has been confirmed.
