PSG have suffered a major injury setback ahead of their crucial European clash against Barcelona, with full-back Nuno Mendes set to miss Tuesday’s encounter.
According to Le Parisien, the Portuguese international picked up a thigh injury during Saturday’s match against Strasbourg.
Mendes reportedly felt discomfort during the game before being assessed by PSG’s medical staff. The defender underwent further tests on Sunday to determine the extent of the injury.

However, the initial medical examinations have raised concerns over his availability, with the left-back now unlikely to feature against Barcelona.
His potential absence presents a setback for PSG’s defensive plans, forcing the coaching staff to consider alternatives on the left flank.
It could also provide Barcelona with an opportunity to exploit the space on that side of the pitch in the highly anticipated European encounter.
