FC Barcelona is facing a potential double injury concern ahead of their upcoming Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain. The first training session after the international break revealed mixed news for the team.
Young talent Pedri, who had previously suffered a thigh injury, was seen back on the training pitch with a smile on his face as he works hard to be fit for the crucial quarterfinal match on April 10.
However, defender Andreas Christensen is dealing with discomfort in his achilles tendon, which kept him out of the recent victory against Atletico Madrid. With Frenkie de Jong also sidelined, the team had to make adjustments in their lineup, affecting the overall performance.
Considering the importance of the upcoming fixtures, Christensen may be rested for the next match against Las Palmas to ensure his full recovery for the PSG encounter. The team is also monitoring the situation of Ronald Araujo, who returned early from international duty without any reported injury but might be rested as a precaution.
With the Copa del Rey final providing a break before the PSG game, Barcelona has some time to manage the fitness of key players and make necessary adjustments to the squad. The potential inclusion of Mika Faye in the matchday squad could provide additional cover in defense if needed.
Overall, Barcelona will be closely monitoring the fitness of Pedri, Christensen, and Araujo in the lead-up to the crucial Champions League clash, aiming to field the strongest possible lineup for the challenging fixture against Paris Saint-Germain.
