Barcelona faces defensive challenges with injuries ahead of PSG match

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is confronted with a defensive selection dilemma ahead of the Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain on October 20. Injuries to Eric Garcia and Jules Kounde leave Flick without two key right-back options. Garcia is expected to miss three to four weeks, while Kounde is ruled out due to an ankle sprain. Flick is likely to consider alternatives like Xavi Esparrt and Joao Cancelo, neither of whom has regularly played in that position this season. The absence of Andreas Christensen further complicates the situation, limiting options for the backline as Barcelona prepares for a crucial away fixture.
