Xavi Espart, ankle concern
Summarised by MatchPal
Barcelona's Xavi Espart substituted in 74th minute against PSG due to ankle discomfort; expected to be available for Sunday's Clásico against Real Madrid.
Xavi Espart was withdrawn in the 74th minute of Barcelona's match against PSG as a precautionary measure after feeling ankle discomfort, despite a strong performance. The club hopes he will be fit for Sunday's Clásico against Real Madrid. With Eric García ruled out and Jules Koundé doubtful with a left ankle sprain, Barcelona's defensive options are limited if Espart cannot play, leaving manager Flick with only Cancelo and Alejandro Balde available at fullback.
