Barca defenders Garcia, Kounde doubt for PSG, Real Madrid clash

Eric Garcia will be sidelined for three to four weeks with a thigh injury, missing Barcelona’s Champions League match against PSG and its La Liga clash with Real Madrid. Jules Kounde has an ankle sprain and will miss Tuesday’s trip to Paris, but may be available for the Clasico on October 25 depending on his recovery. Both defenders finished Barcelona’s 5-2 win over Real Betis on Saturday with discomfort. PSG also said Nuno Mendes would be out for the next few weeks after injuring his left thigh against Strasbourg.
