Blow for Luis Enrique? New Injury Adds to Doubts Ahead of Barcelona Clash

Luis Enrique Keeps Everything for Barcelona Mbappé’s Fierce Outburst at Luis Enrique Mbappé’s Fierce Outburst at Luis Enrique / Prime Video Sport France Luis Enrique introduced a true revolution in PSG’s lineup against Clermont just three days before their clash with Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. The coach’s idea was to conserve energy for the match against the Catalan side, considering that Xavi’s team will have rested six days more for the crucial duel.

Facing the bottom-ranked team in Ligue 1, Lucho chose to give Mukiele a chance at right-back, one of the real options to play in that position against Barcelona as the regular starter, Hakimi, is suspended for the first leg due to yellow card accumulation.

However, in the eighth minute of the game, the Frenchman collided in an accidental challenge with Ndiaye, Clermont’s goalkeeper, resulting in a bloody mouth and being forced by PSG’s medical staff to leave the field due to concussion protocol, despite his protests to continue playing. It remains to be seen if the French full-back will be fit for Wednesday’s match against Barcelona and if he gets the green light from PSG’s medical team. For now, there is speculation in France that Warren Zaïre-Emery could be Luis Enrique’s choice to fill in at right-back in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
