Today, on April 10th, PSG will host Barcelona in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Dailysports has provided the latest updates on the match, including the expected lineups for both teams.

PSG enters the game with minimal squad issues. Only two players, Presnel Kimpembe and Nordi Mukiele, will be absent due to injuries. Mukiele sustained a minor injury in the previous match against Clermont (1-1), while Kimpembe has been sidelined for over a year due to knee problems.

A notable absence for PSG is Ashraf Hakimi, their primary right-back, who is unavailable due to yellow card accumulation. It is important for the team that central midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery has fully recovered and returned to the squad. However, due to the absences of Mukiele and Hakimi, the 18-year-old midfielder is expected to play in an unfamiliar position as a right-back.

Barcelona’s injury list is gradually getting shorter. Currently, the confirmed absences are left-back Alejandro Balde and central midfielder Gavi, with their return expected in the next season.

On the positive side, central midfielders Frenkie de Jong and Pedri have recovered and are ready to play. However, reports from Catalan media suggest that only de Jong will be in the starting lineup, while Pedri will be available as a substitute.
