Barcelona reveals injury status of trio

FC Barcelona has revealed the injury status of the trio Erik García, Gerard Martín, and Jules Koundé ahead of their upcoming matches against Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

FC Barcelona has officially announced that Erik García has suffered a muscle tear in his right quadriceps, with an expected absence of 3 to 4 weeks. Consequently, he will miss matches against Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Alavés, and Aston Villa.

Regarding French defender Jules Koundé, he is suffering from a sprain in his left ankle and is expected to miss the match against Paris Saint-Germain. His availability for the Clasico against Real Madrid, scheduled for Sunday, will depend on the progress of his condition and how well he responds to treatment over the coming days.

On the other hand, Gerard Martín's chances of being fit for the match against Paris Saint-Germain remain, as forecasts suggest he could participate on Tuesday. However, the final decision will depend on the progress of his recovery over the next 48 hours and his physical readiness for the encounter.

These injuries present a difficult challenge for the coaching staff of FC Barcelona amid a congested fixture schedule, as the team seeks to prepare as many players as possible ahead of important upcoming matches, especially against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League and Real Madrid in LaLiga.
