On October 1, PSG travel to Barcelona for their first major Champions League test. Both teams are already dealing with key absences, but there’s very good news for Paris: Désiré Doué could be back in time.
While Ousmane Dembélé (hamstring, six weeks) is already ruled out, Doué – initially expected to miss the clash – might recover sooner than planned, according to Le Parisien. A major boost for Luis Enrique as he prepares for this European showdown.
A blockbuster match… but not at Camp Nou?
Barcelona are also facing setbacks. Gavi (knee) remains uncertain despite a possible return in three weeks, Alejandro Balde (thigh) is very unlikely to feature, and Frenkie De Jong is coming back from international duty at less than 100%.
With three weeks to go, both clubs are juggling injuries and doubts ahead of a fiery European classic. Meanwhile, PSG are pushing to play the tie at Camp Nou, still under renovation, with UEFA requiring a prior Liga test before green-lighting the venue.
