Overview
- Paris Saint-Germain said medical checks confirmed a severe sprain to ligaments in Bradley Barcola’s right ankle sustained during Tuesday’s win at Chelsea.
- Barcola went down in the 58th minute, was replaced by Désiré Doué, and was later seen leaving Stamford Bridge in a protective boot.
- The club expects a layoff of several weeks, with L’Équipe reporting a possible return in about a month.
- His participation in PSG’s upcoming Ligue 1 match at Nice is uncertain.
- The injury interrupts a strong scoring run, including goals in both legs against Chelsea, and it jeopardizes a late-March France call-up for the US tour.
