Barcelona battles injuries to key players ahead of PSG clash and El Clásico

During Barcelona's recent triumph at La Cartuja, Eric Garcia, Gerard Martín and Gabriel Jesus were forced to exit before the final whistle because of injuries. Garcia reported right-thigh pain after being advised to sit on the ground, while Martín was substituted at halftime as a precaution. Jesus left the pitch limping and fatigued.

Coach Flick stressed that recovery is crucial and said the upcoming Champions League match against PSG at the Parque de los Príncipes is the priority, with the classic match to follow. He also mentioned Koundé's lingering issues and the absence of defender Christensen. The club hopes to have the injured players fit for the next two high-profile fixtures.
