Barcola returns to PSG squad ahead of Champions League clash with Liverpool
PARIS, April 13 : Paris St Germain forward Bradley Barcola has been named in the squad for their Champions League quarter-final second leg at Liverpool, the Ligue 1 club said on Monday.
The France international had been sidelined for a month after suffering a severe ankle nL6N40615R ligament sprain during the Champions League last-16 second leg at Chelsea nL1N40518M.
Barcola missed PSG's last three matches across all competitions, as well as France's friendlies in the U.S. against Brazil nL6N40E1DX and Colombia nL6N40H069.
"We’ll have to see how the training goes but whenever a player returns, it’s very good news," PSG coach Luis Enrique told a press conference on Monday. "It’s important for us to get our players back."
Midfielder Fabian Ruiz, who has been sidelined since January with a knee injury remains unavailable.
"The good news is that Fabian (Ruiz) is on the mend and training with the team," Luis Enrique said.
PSG, the European Cup holders, take a 2-0 lead nL6N40R1IA over Liverpool into Tuesday's game.
