PSG Face Late Fitness Calls on Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia Before Barcelona Trip

Medical assessments on Monday leave selection in flux for Wednesday’s Champions League match in Barcelona.

Overview

  • Luis Enrique said he could not detail the issues after Vitinha and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia were withdrawn against Auxerre, deferring decisions to medical staff.
  • RMC Sport reported Kvaratskhelia did not train on Monday and is unlikely to be risked from the start, though he may be available.
  • Le Parisien indicated Vitinha is expected to be available, with final confirmation dependent on test results.
  • Both teams are juggling absences, as Barcelona prepare to include Alejandro Balde after he completed training and Lamine Yamal has returned to fitness.
  • PSG confirmed the Barcelona match jerseys will be auctioned with proceeds going to Fundación Xana.
