FC Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain<\/strong> face each other this Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League 2025\/26<\/a><\/strong> at the Olympic Stadium in Montju\u00efc (9:00 PM CEST), for the second matchday of the league phase of the tournament. Hansi Flick<\/strong>‘s team arrives with four absences due to injury, with Raphinha and Joan Garc\u00eda<\/a> being the latest players to join the Bar\u00e7a infirmary.<\/p> We review the possible starting lineup, the substitutes’ bench, and the injured and suspended players of Barcelona<\/strong> under Hansi Flick for the match against PSG. Complete analysis!<\/p> Bar\u00e7a bench (substitute players)<\/strong><\/p> Injured Bar\u00e7a players<\/strong><\/p> In principle, Hansi Flick<\/strong> plans to make several adjustments to his XI from matchday 7 against Real Sociedad (2-1), with Ronald Araujo<\/b> accompanying Pau Cubars\u00ed<\/b> and Lamine Yamal<\/b> back as a right winger instead of Roony Bardghji<\/strong>. Szczesny<\/strong> also remains in goal instead of Joan Garc\u00eda<\/strong>.<\/p> Goalkeeper and defense<\/strong><\/p> Wojciech Szczesny<\/strong> will be in goal, while Jules Kound\u00e9 and Gerard Mart\u00edn will be the full-backs. In the center of the defense, Ronald Araujo<\/strong> should partner with Pau Cubars\u00ed<\/strong>, with Eric Garc\u00eda waiting for his opportunity on the bench alongside Andreas Christensen. Jofre Torrents could also have minutes as an alternative on the left, along with Alejandro Balde<\/a>, who has already received medical clearance.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> Midfield:<\/strong><\/p> As a pivot, Frenkie de Jong<\/strong> is expected to partner with Pedri in midfield, while Dani Olmo would remain as the team’s attacking midfielder. Marc Casad\u00f3<\/strong> and Marc Bernal<\/strong> are waiting for an opportunity on the bench. Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez is out due to injury.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> Attack:<\/strong><\/p> In attack, Lamine Yamal<\/a><\/strong> and Marcus Rashford<\/strong> would complete the Bar\u00e7a attack alongside Robert Lewandowski. The ’10’ missed the match against Newcastle, and with Raphinha out, he is expected to be in the XI against PSG. Roony Bardghji, who started against Real Sociedad, will be on the bench alongside Ferran Torres.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> For now, four Bar\u00e7a players will be confirmed absentees due to physical problems<\/strong>. The club recovers Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde, but lost Joan Garc\u00eda<\/a> and Raphinha<\/a> last weekend.<\/p> The Brazilian will be out for three weeks<\/strong> due to an injury in the middle third of the biceps femoris muscle of his right thigh. The goalkeeper, on the other hand, underwent surgery to treat an injury to the medial meniscus of his left knee. The player from Sallent will spend between four and six weeks in the infirmary<\/strong>, so he could return in early November.<\/p> The outlook is much more complex for Gavi<\/a>. The midfielder underwent arthroscopy and, finally, had to have surgery on the medial meniscus of his right knee. Therefore, the ‘6’ will be out for between four and five months, with February 2026 being the tentative date for his return.<\/p> Another who will be out of action until mid-October is Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez<\/a>. The player from Huelva suffered a muscular injury in the left iliopsoas in the final moments of Sunday’s match against Getafe and will be out for three weeks. The fourth absentee is Ter Stegen<\/a><\/strong>, who will be out of action, at least, until the end of November or the beginning of December.<\/p> Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, also arrives with four significant absences due to injury. Luis Enrique will not be able to count on Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9<\/a>, Desir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9, Marquinhos and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia<\/strong>, all undisputed starters and figures of the treble obtained last season.<\/p> The Georgian was the last to be injured, last Saturday against Auxerre (2-0). Marquinhos fell last week against Marseille (1-0), while Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 and Dou\u00e9 were KO with France during the September break. Vitinha<\/a> will also be doubtful until the last minute, while Fabi\u00e1n Ruiz and Joao Neves<\/a>, in principle, will be in conditions to enter the XI.<\/p> In that sense, PSG could take to the field at Montju\u00efc with Chevallier in goal, while Hakimi and Nuno Mendes<\/strong> will be the full-backs\/wing-backs. In the center of the defense would be Pacho, Zabarnyi and Beraldo, while Vitinha, Za\u00efre-Emery and Fabi\u00e1n Ruiz will take care of the midfield. Up front, Bradley Barcola will accompany Gon\u00e7alo Ramos<\/strong>.<\/p> Possible starting XI for Bar\u00e7a against PSG<\/h2>
