FC Barcelona will be cautious with one of its defenders ahead of the first-leg clash in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie against Paris Saint-Germain on April 10 at the Parc des Princes.

With the FIFA international break coming to an end, Robert Lewandowski returned to the Catalan side with thigh discomfort following physical fatigue. His health status will be monitored in the coming days.

However, the veteran goal scorer isn’t the only Barcelona player nursing an injury. Mundo Deportivo reports that Andreas Christensen didn’t train yesterday because his Achilles discomfort is still persisting. Everything indicates he won’t feature against Las Palmas.

As a result, Barcelona aren’t going to take risks with the Dane ahead of the crucial match against PSG. The Spanish giants will need all hands on deck when facing Kylian Mbappé and Co.

The Parisians are also racing against time to ensure Bradley Barcola is fit for the matchup. If Luis Enrique has all the attackers at his disposal, then the Spanish tactician can put together the best game plan to ensure the team gets the upper hand in the first leg.
