A few days before the Bar\u00e7a-PSG Champions League match, the Parisian team suffers new setbacks. Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia withdrew with discomfort against Auxerre and their presence in Montju\u00efc is up in the air.<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Paris Saint-Germain<\/strong> faces the imminent Champions League<\/strong> duel against F\u00fatbol Club Barcelona<\/strong> with concern. A few days before the clash at the Estadi Ol\u00edmpic Llu\u00eds Companys, two of its starters, Vitinha<\/strong> and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia<\/strong>, raised alarms after withdrawing with discomfort in the match against Auxerre.<\/p>

The match against Bar\u00e7a<\/strong>, scheduled for Wednesday, October 1 at 9:00 p.m.<\/a><\/strong>, threatens to see a PSG<\/strong> decimated by a new injury plague<\/strong>, just when it must face a Barcelona<\/strong> that seeks to strengthen its position in the top continental competition.<\/p>

Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia, the latest to join the infirmary<\/h2>

In the 35th minute of the league match against Auxerre, Vitinha asked for the change<\/strong> suffering from muscle discomfort. The Portuguese midfielder is a key piece in Luis Enrique’s<\/strong> scheme, and his absence would be a hard blow in the Parisian midfield.<\/p>

For his part, Kvaratskhelia<\/strong> also left injured at halftime. The Georgian winger suffered a hard tackle that forced him to leave the field limping, with signs of pain in his left thigh. His evolution will determine if he can travel to Barcelona.<\/p>

A PSG plagued with casualties<\/h2>

The problems don’t end there. Captain Marquinhos<\/a><\/strong> continues to be ruled out due to injury, while Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9<\/strong>, D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9<\/strong> and Joao Neves<\/strong> continue with their recovery processes, as announced by the French club itself. None of them have their presence assured in the final list to travel to the Condal City.<\/p>

If the absences are confirmed, PSG<\/strong> would lose solidity in defense and offensive creativity, factors that can be decisive against a Bar\u00e7a<\/strong> that arrives with confidence after its good performance in LaLiga, although also with many casualties.<\/p>

A calendar that takes its toll<\/h3>

The case of PSG<\/strong> is a reflection of the frenetic calendar<\/strong> that the great European teams face. Between the domestic league, the Champions League and the international dates<\/strong>, injuries have become a recurring factor that conditions the aspirations of the clubs in all competitions.<\/p>

Bar\u00e7a<\/strong> also knows firsthand what the accumulation of matches means. In recent weeks, Hansi Flick’s<\/strong> team has had to deal with the casualties of key players such as Ter Stegen, Lamine, Balde, Gavi, Ferm\u00edn, Joan Garc\u00eda or Raphinha<\/a><\/strong>, which has forced the coach to reinvent his starting eleven in several LaLiga matches.<\/p>

The next few days will be decisive to know if Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia<\/strong> can arrive in time for the clash. Meanwhile, Bar\u00e7a is closely following the evolution of its rivals, aware that the casualties in PSG<\/strong> could tip the balance in its favor.<\/p>
