Barcola returns to PSG squad ahead of UCL clash with Liverpool

Paris St Germain forward Bradley Barcola has been named in the squad for their Champions League quarterfinal second leg at Liverpool, the Ligue 1 club said on Monday.

The France international had been sidelined for a month after suffering a severe ankle ligament sprain during the Champions League last-16 second leg at Chelsea.

Barcola missed PSG's last three matches across all competitions, as well as France's friendlies in the US against Brazil and Colombia.

"We’ll have to see how the training goes but whenever a player returns, it’s very good news," PSG coach Luis Enrique told a press conference on Monday. "It’s important for us to get our players back."

Midfielder Fabian Ruiz, who has been sidelined since January with a knee injury remains unavailable.

"The good news is that Fabian (Ruiz) is on the mend and training with the team," Luis Enrique said.

PSG, the European Cup holders, take a 2-0 lead over Liverpool into Tuesday's game.
