PSG suffered a triple injury setback during their 4-2 Champions League victory over Barcelona, with Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Marquinhos all forced off. The injuries threaten to disrupt the defending champions’ preparations despite their perfect record in Europe.
Dembélé pulled up with an apparent left-thigh problem in the 19th minute and was replaced by Ferran Torres. Kvaratskhelia and Marquinhos were both substituted in the 59th minute, with Maghnes Akliouche and Illia Zabarnyi entering the match. Coach Luis Enrique described the three injuries as the worst aspect of the evening and said medical assessments would determine their severity.
